It's not a super light shoe; you feel the substance. The cushioning? It's firm but responsive. You get that Air unit in the heel, and it does its job for casual wear. For basketball? Maybe a bit dated. But for style and everyday comfort, it's totally fine. The design just works, man. Sliding into these "Air Jordan 6s"... the fit is snug, true to size. The interior padding is noticeable—it's a comfortable, secure hug around your ankle. They're not the lightest sneaker in the "Jordan" line, but you feel that stability. The visible Air unit in the heel? You can feel it, but it's firm, not super plush like some modern shoes. So, is it worth the $200 USD price tag? For this specific 'Infrared' colorway of the Air Jordan 6, absolutely. It's one of the most important colorways in the entire Jordan series. You're getting a legend. My advice? Try it on if you can, but for most, it's a cornerstone sneaker for any rotation. In summary: I'm really happy with this pair. The "Air Jordan 6" delivers exactly what I expected - great looks, solid comfort, and a direct connection to sneaker history. Would I recommend it? Absolutely, especially if you can grab it on a slight discount. It's a must-have for a reason.
