Versus a Jordan 11, it's less about sleekness and more about that rugged, '90s basketball aesthetic. The toe guard and those plastic lace locks are unique to this model. It's a different vibe in the Jordan series, for sure. Who might want to skip it? If you're seeking cutting-edge comfort or performance for basketball, look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer minimal, low-profile sneakers, the "Nike Air Jordan 6"'s chunkier profile might not be your style. It's a specific look and feel that doesn't appeal to everyone, and that's okay. Let's talk pros. The biggest advantage of this shoe is its iconic style. It's a head-turner. The materials on this specific release are good for the price point. Durability seems on point, and it's a comfortable all-day wear once broken in. Also, that history – you're wearing a piece of MJ's first championship win. That's the main appeal of this "Jordan series" model. Putting these "Air Jordan 6s" on... the fit is snug. Like, really secure around the ankle, which I love for support. The cushioning? It's firm, not super plush like modern shoes, but you definitely feel that Air unit. They're not heavy, but you know you're wearing a substantial sneaker. It's that classic, protective feel.
