I laced up these Nike Air Jordan 6s, and the initial step-in comfort is decent. The cushioning isn't super plush by today's standards—it's that familiar, firm Air-Sole unit. The ankle collar provides great lockdown, though! It's a supportive ride, which I appreciate. If you're used to modern, bouncy sneakers, this might feel a bit stiff at first. Comparing it to, say, a "Jordan 1"? It's a totally different animal. The "AJ6" is more of a mid-top, structured basketball shoe from that era. It's not as minimalist as a 1, and it feels more substantial on foot. If you love 90s basketball aesthetics, this is your jam. On foot, the silhouette of the Air Jordan 6 is just iconic. The way the midsole curves and that heel tab... it's a timeless look. The 'Infrared' hits really stand out in natural light. For photography or video, this shoe just works. It's a statement piece that doesn't need crazy colors to get attention. Wrapping up—this Air Jordan 6 release gets a thumbs up from me. It does what it's supposed to: delivers a faithful retro of a classic. The pros (style, build, history) outweigh the cons (break-in, weight) for most sneakerheads. Would I recommend it? Yeah, especially for your first pair of 6s.
