Break-in time is real - they're stiff at first. And if you're used to modern, ultra-soft sneakers, the Air Jordan 6 cushioning might feel dated. It's not a running shoe. The price, at $200 USD, is standard for Retros, but it's still an investment. On foot now, and the fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan 6 has a snug, secure lockdown, especially around the ankle collar. It's not the lightest shoe, you definitely feel its presence, but the cushioning... it's firm. Don't expect crazy bounce, it's more about stability. A classic feel, for sure. Let's talk pros. The materials on this 'Infrared' Air Jordan 6 are great. Nubuck is soft, the construction feels durable. The history and look are undeniable - it's a piece of sneaker culture. For me, the comfort is good for all-day wear, and that padded tongue is a nice touch you don't see as much anymore. Now, potential cons? The toe box can feel a bit roomy for some. If you have a narrow foot, you might want to try it on first. Also, the cushioning, while good, isn't modern "boost" or "zoom" soft. It's a firmer, more responsive ride. Don't buy these expecting cloud-like comfort for all-day wear.
