It's less about sleek curves and more about structured, geometric panels. The cushioning setup is similar to the 5, but the 6's ankle feel is more restrictive—in a protective way. If you have wider feet, you might prefer the roomier toebox of the 6 over some earlier models. 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. Putting these "Air Jordan 6s" on... the fit is snug, in a good way. The inner sleeve hugs your foot. Cushioning? It's firm, not super plush like modern shoes, but you definitely feel that Air unit in the heel. They're not heavy, but you know you're wearing a substantial sneaker. It's a very '90s basketball feel. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize maximum, cloud-like comfort above all else for all-day wear, you might be disappointed. Also, if you prefer a super flexible, low-profile sneaker, the "AJ6's" structured build might not be your thing. It's about the vibe, not the tech.
