The Air Jordan 6 cushioning is dated. Also, if you have very narrow feet, the fit might feel a bit roomy in the toe box. It's not the most performance-oriented retro out there. Comparing it to other Jordans, the 6 sits uniquely between the sleekness of the 5 and the bulk of the 7. It has its own distinct personality. For $200, you're paying for the iconic design and heritage. If you want a modern performance basketball shoe, look elsewhere. This is a lifestyle and style piece first. Putting these Air Jordan 6s on for the first time... the fit is pretty true to size for me. The ankle collar is high, giving that locked-in feel, which I appreciate for basketball or just casual wear. They're not the lightest shoe in the Jordan series, but you can feel the support. The cushioning from the visible Air unit is decent—it's comfortable, but don't expect Boost-level softness, okay? Now, potential cons. The cushioning might feel too firm for some, especially if you're used to React or Boost. It's not a "performance" shoe by today's standards. Also, the fit can be narrow in the midfoot. If you have wide feet, you might need to go up half a size. It's not for everyone seeking modern comfort tech.
