First thing I notice? The build quality is solid, man. The nubuck feels premium right out of the box. That iconic silhouette, with the visible Air unit and the plastic lace locks, it's just a classic. For around $200 USD, this Jordan 6 release feels worth it so far. Let's get these on feet. Now, the cons... The outsole on the Air Jordan 6 is quite flat and can feel a bit slippery on very smooth surfaces initially. The toe box creasing is also pretty inevitable with that nubuck. If you want a super flexible, lightweight sneaker, this isn't it. It's a chunky retro. On foot now, and the fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan 6 has a snug, secure lockdown, especially around the ankle collar. It's not the lightest shoe, you can feel that weight, but it's not clunky either. The cushioning? It's firm but comfortable - classic Air. Don't expect super plush, modern foam, it's more about that stable, supportive ride. Now, a potential con: the comfort. If you're used to modern, super-soft sneakers, the Jordan 6 might feel stiff. The break-in period is real. Also, that padded tongue can feel a bit restrictive for some. It's not for everyone, especially if you prioritize cloud-like comfort.
