You're paying for heritage, quality materials, and an undeniably cool look. The Nike Air Jordan 6 isn't trying to be the most advanced shoe today; it's honoring its legacy. And it does that job perfectly. Who is this for? I'd say it's perfect for the sneakerhead who values history and iconic design. If you're building a collection of classic "Jordan series" retros, this is a must-have. It's also great for casual, style-focused wear. You get a versatile sneaker that works with a lot of fits. For $200 USD, it's a solid investment into sneaker culture. Putting these Air Jordan 6s on for the first time... the fit is pretty true to size for me. The ankle collar is high, giving that locked-in feel, which I appreciate for basketball or just casual wear. They're not the lightest shoe in the Jordan series, but you can feel the support. The cushioning from the visible Air unit is decent—it's comfortable, but don't expect Boost-level softness, okay? Now, potential cons. The cushioning might feel too firm for some, especially if you're used to React or Boost. It's not a "performance" shoe by today's standards. Also, the fit can be narrow in the midfoot. If you have wide feet, you might need to go up half a size. It's not for everyone seeking modern comfort tech.
