The Air Jordan 6 has a snug, secure lockdown, especially around the ankle collar. It's not the lightest shoe, you can feel that weight, but it's not clunky either. The cushioning? It's firm but comfortable - classic Air. Don't expect super plush, modern foam, it's more about that stable, supportive ride. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 is more of a tank than a Jordan 3 or 5. 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. Now, a potential con? The tech is dated. If you're used to modern, bouncy cushioning, the firm ride of this "Air Jordan 6" might disappoint you. Also, that padded tongue and collar can feel a bit bulky to some people. It's part of the design, but it's not the most streamlined fit. Just something to keep in mind. Now, a potential con? The comfort tech is dated. If you're used to modern, plush sneakers, the firm Air-Sole unit in the Nike Air Jordan 6 might feel too stiff. It breaks in, but it's not a "comfort-first" shoe by today's standards. That's just the reality of a 90s retro.
