The cushioning from the Air unit is there—it's not super plush like some modern shoes, but it's comfortable for all-day wear. The fit is true to size for me, with a nice, secure lockdown around the midfoot. The low-cut design definitely offers more ankle mobility compared to the OG highs. Comparing it to other Jordans, the Air Jordan 6 Low is less bulky than the OG high-top 6s. It's also more understated than something like a 1 or a 4. The advantage here is its wearability. You get that iconic Jordan 6 DNA—the sculpted panels, the perforations—in a more low-key, everyday package. It bridges a nice gap. Now, a potential con? If you're a purist who loves the high-top's ankle support and look, this might feel like a compromise. The "Air Jordan 6 Low" doesn't have the same commanding presence on the shelf. Also, the nubuck can be a magnet for dirt, so keep that in mind if you're rough on your kicks. Who should maybe skip it? Hardcore performance basketball players—look elsewhere. Also, if you're all about that iconic, bulky 90s basketball look, the low-top cut might feel like it's missing the point. You're paying for style and heritage here, not cutting-edge tech.
