The "Nike Air Jordan 6" has a bulky, muscular look that I personally love. The infrared accents on the midsole and lace lock are subtle but fire. In natural light, the different textures – nubuck, rubber, plastic – create a cool, detailed aesthetic. It's a shoe that looks better on foot than in the box, which is always a plus. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 sits higher than a 1 or 4, offering more ankle coverage. Cushioning is firmer than a Jordan 11 or 13. It's its own thing - less versatile for outfits than a Jordan 1, but more distinctive than some later models. You're buying the specific look and feel. Putting these Air Jordan 6s on... the fit is snug. They hug my foot pretty well from the get-go. The ankle collar is high, which I like for support. They're not the lightest shoe, but you feel that stability. It's a different feel from, say, a Jordan 1—more structured. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 sits higher off the ground than a Jordan 1, for sure. It's more of a mid-top feel. Cushioning is different too - less board-like than a 1, but also not as soft as something like a Jordan 13. It's its own thing. If you like that late 80s/early 90s basketball shoe aesthetic, this is a prime example.
