The cushioning is firmer than, say, a Jordan 11 or 13. It's its own thing. If you like that late-80s/early-90s Tinker Hatfield design language, you'll dig this model from the Jordan series. Big pro? The durability. The nubuck upper on this 'Infrared' colorway is tough and should hold up well. The overall construction of this Air Jordan 6 feels like it can take a beating, which is great for casual wear. It's a well-made retro, no question. Comparing it to, say, an Air Jordan 1 or 4, the Air Jordan 6 is noticeably more of a "tank." It's structured and has more of a protective feel. The toe box isn't as narrow as some earlier Js, which is a plus for wider feet. It's a different kind of comfort—more about support than sink-in softness. To wrap up, unboxing these was a vibe. Slapping them on felt right. The "Jordan 6" delivers what it promises: iconic style and solid, retro comfort. Weigh the pros and cons for your own needs. But if you're feeling this silhouette, pulling the trigger on this "Air Jordan 6" won't leave you disappointed. It's a staple for a reason.
