First impression? The shape is iconic, man. The build quality feels solid right out of the box—no glue stains or anything funky. That black nubuck is clean, and the infrared hits? They pop, for real. This is a classic Jordan series release, no doubt about it. Now, the cons... The outsole on the Air Jordan 6 is quite flat and can feel a bit slippery on very smooth surfaces initially. The toe box creasing is also pretty inevitable with that nubuck. If you want a super flexible, lightweight sneaker, this isn't it. It's a chunky retro. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, look at newer models. 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. On foot now. The fit is true to size for me. The cushioning... it's decent? It's not super plush like some modern shoes, but you definitely feel that Air unit in the heel. The ankle collar provides good lockdown, though it can feel a bit stiff initially. For a Jordan 6, the weight is manageable—not too heavy, not too light.
