The perforated tongue and those molded heel tabs are such distinctive details. In natural light, the 'Infrared' colorway looks even better than in promo pics. It's a shoe that gets compliments, for sure. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1, it's a bulkier, more 90s performance look, which I'm totally into. Putting these Air Jordan 6s on for the first time... the fit is pretty true to size for me. The ankle collar is high, giving that locked-in feel, which I appreciate for basketball or just casual wear. They're not the lightest shoe in the Jordan series, but you can feel the support. The cushioning from the visible Air unit is decent—it's comfortable, but don't expect Boost-level softness, okay? So, is the Nike Air Jordan 6 worth it? For me, yes - but with conditions. I love the design and history. The comfort is good for casual use. You're paying for the icon status. Just know what you're getting: a well-made retro, not a performance revolution. Try them on if you can. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 is noticeably more structured than a Jordan 1. It's also heavier than a Jordan 11. The fit is more forgiving than a Jordan 3 for wider feet, in my opinion. It sits nicely between a retro basketball feel and something you can actually wear all day.
