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 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? On feet, the design really shines. The silhouette is bulky in a good way—it's a statement. The "Infrared" accents against the black upper look even better in natural light. This "Jordan 6" colorway is just timeless. On camera, the details, like the perforated tongue and the plastic lace locks, add so much character. It's a very photogenic shoe. Here's a major pro: the materials. This particular Air Jordan 6 uses a really nice grade of nubuck. It's soft, doesn't feel cheap, and should age beautifully with some wear. The toe cap overlay is also great for durability—scuffs won't show as easily. For a retro release, Nike did a good job here. It feels like a proper premium product from the Jordan series.
