These aren't heavy, but they're not feather-light either. If you're used to ultra-boost type shoes, you'll feel the difference. Also, that padded tongue and collar can feel a bit warm in summer. It's a trade-off for that iconic look and ankle comfort. Let's talk about the on-foot feel. Slipping these Air Jordan 6s on, the fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar gives that classic, locked-in feel. It's not the most plush ride by today's standards—you can feel the Air unit, but it's firm. For $200 USD, you're paying for the legacy and look, not necessarily groundbreaking comfort. Just being real with you. Who is this for? I'd say it's perfect for the sneakerhead who values history and iconic design. If you're building a collection of classic "Jordan series" retros, this is a must-have. It's also great for casual, style-focused wear. You get a versatile sneaker that works with a lot of fits. For $200 USD, it's a solid investment into sneaker culture. Comparing it to other "Jordan" models? The "6" is noticeably more structured than a "Jordan 1". It's also heavier and has a different kind of lockdown. Versus a "Jordan 11", the cushioning is less bouncy, more about impact protection. It occupies its own space in the "Jordan series" - it's a mid-90s basketball shoe through and through.
