It does what it's supposed to: delivers a faithful retro of a classic. The pros (style, build, history) outweigh the cons (break-in, weight) for most sneakerheads. Would I recommend it? Yeah, especially for your first pair of 6s. Another thing to consider: the "price point". At $200 USD, it's a significant investment for a retro sneaker. You're paying for the legacy and the design more than cutting-edge tech. If you're looking for ultra-modern, cloud-like comfort, this isn't it. But if you value iconic style and build, it's worth it. Let's talk about the on-foot feel. Slipping these Air Jordan 6s on, the fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar gives that classic, locked-in feel. It's not the most plush ride by today's standards—you can feel the Air unit, but it's firm. For $200 USD, you're paying for the legacy and look, not necessarily groundbreaking comfort. Just being real with you. On feet, the design of this Air Jordan 6 really stands out. The perforated tongue and those molded heel tabs are such distinctive details. In natural light, the 'Infrared' colorway looks even better than in promo pics. It's a shoe that gets compliments, for sure. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1, it's a bulkier, more 90s performance look, which I'm totally into.
