It's not trying to be something it's not. You get a piece of history that still looks fresh today. My advice? If you've always wanted a pair, especially this 'Infrared' version, go for it. You won't be disappointed. Just know what you're getting into! Wearing them around the house, the weight is noticeable—they're not the lightest shoes in my collection. But that substantial feel adds to the premium impression. Visually, the design is so clean and graphic. Compared to, say, an Air Jordan 1, the Jordan 6 has a more technical, structured look that really stands out in person and on foot. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultimate, cloud-like comfort above all else, look elsewhere. Performance basketball players should definitely choose a modern shoe. Also, if you prefer a minimal, low-profile sneaker, the "Jordan 6"'s bulky silhouette might not be your vibe. It makes a statement. Putting these on... the fit is snug, true to size. The padded collar? It hugs the ankle really well, super comfortable. The Air unit in the sole gives a decent, firm cushioning—not super plush, but supportive. Walking around, the Nike Air Jordan 6 doesn't feel heavy at all. Good for all-day wear, honestly.
