I went true to size, and the "Nike Air Jordan 6" feels... secure. The inner sleeve and those molded panels give a good, locked-in feel around the midfoot. It's not the most plush thing ever, but it's comfortable right out of the box. The ankle collar is high, which I like for support. Overall, a pretty good first impression on foot. Who are these for? Honestly, if you love the 90s aesthetic, or the 'Infrared' colorway specifically, you'll be happy. Fans of the Jordan series who want a comfortable, statement retro for casual wear. They're great for collectors or anyone wanting that classic Bulls-era vibe in their rotation. On feet, the design just works. The silhouette is bulky in a cool, 90s way. That infrared pops against the black, and the clear outsole adds a nice detail. For a retro, the Nike Air Jordan 6 has a presence that looks great in person and on camera. It's a statement piece for sure. 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.
