First impression? The shape is iconic, man. The build quality feels solid, especially that molded heel tab. The black nubuck is clean, and the infrared hits just pop.

The build quality feels solid right out of the box – no glue stains or anything funky on my pair. That nubuck material? It's nice. For around $200 USD, you're getting a classic piece of the "Jordan series" history in your hands. Let's get these on feet. Let's talk pros. The durability on these seems great—the materials can take a beating. I also love the unique lacing system and how secure the foot feels. For a retro, the Air Jordan 6 offers good ankle support, which is a plus if you're actually playing in them. The style is timeless; it works with jeans or shorts effortlessly. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 sits higher than a 1 or 4, offering more leg coverage. The cushioning is firmer than an Air Jordan 11 or 13. It's less about court performance now and more about style and that retro basketball aesthetic. Each model in the Jordan series has its own character.
