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. Now, the not-so-great part? The cushioning might feel a bit basic if you're used to modern, bouncy foams. It's a heavier shoe, so if you prioritize lightweight sneakers, the Air Jordan 6 might not be your first pick. The padded collar can also feel a bit stiff initially. Now, a "potential con": The toe box can feel a bit roomy for some people. If you have a narrow foot, you might want to try them on first. Also, the outsole is a bit stiff initially—it needs a short break-in period. It's not the most flexible shoe out of the box, which some might find a bit clunky at first. Let's talk on-foot feel. Sliding into these "Air Jordan 6s"... the fit is snug, true to size for me. The cushioning isn't super plush like a modern runner, but you definitely feel that Air unit in the heel. It's a supportive, stable feel—great for casual wear. For $200 USD, you're paying for the legacy and style as much as the tech.
