It's less about sleek style and more about that mid-90s basketball build. The tech is similar to a 5 or 7, but the 6 has its own unique, chunky profile. It stands out in the Jordan series for its distinctive lines. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 sits higher than a 1 or 4, offering more leg coverage. The cushioning is firmer than an Air Jordan 11 or 13. It's less about court performance now and more about style and that retro basketball aesthetic. Each model in the Jordan series has its own character. Putting these Air Jordan 6s on... the fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar gives that classic, high-top feel and lockdown. It's not the most plush shoe ever, but the Air-Sole unit in the heel provides a firm, stable cushioning. You definitely feel the heritage basketball shoe vibe when you walk around in them. Now, a potential con? The comfort tech is dated. If you're used to modern, plush sneakers, the firm Air-Sole unit in the Nike Air Jordan 6 might feel too stiff. It breaks in, but it's not a "comfort-first" shoe by today's standards. That's just the reality of a 90s retro.
