Performance basketball players should obviously get modern kicks. Also, if you're on a tight budget and $200 USD is a stretch, there are more tech-forward options at that price point for pure comfort. Putting these Air Jordan 6s on... the fit is snug, true to size. The padded collar is super comfortable around the ankle, a signature of this model. They feel a bit heavier than modern shoes, but you get used to it. The cushioning? It's decent - not super plush, but you feel that Air unit. It's a classic feel, for better or worse. On foot now. The fit is true to size for me. The cushioning... it's decent? It's not super plush like some modern shoes, but you definitely feel that Air unit in the heel. The ankle collar provides good lockdown, though it can feel a bit stiff initially. For a Jordan 6, the weight is manageable—not too heavy, not too light. Wrapping up—this Air Jordan 6 release gets a thumbs up from me. 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.
