First impression? The shape is "super" clean, and the nubuck feels premium. The black and infrared colorway is a classic for a reason—it just pops. The build quality on this Air Jordan 6 feels solid right out of the box, no major flaws. Really happy with the initial look. So, who is the Nike Air Jordan 6 for? It's perfect for sneakerheads who appreciate the history, or anyone wanting a statement sneaker with a timeless design. It's great for casual outfits and collectors. The quality and look justify the price for its target audience. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Jordan 6 sits higher than a 1 or 3. The cushioning is firmer than a Jordan 11 or 13, for sure. You get Air-Sole units, but it's more about court feel than plush comfort. It's a different era of basketball shoe tech, and that shows. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The "Air Jordan 6" has a snug, secure lockdown around the ankle, which I really like. The cushioning isn't super plush by today's standards, but that Air-Sole unit in the heel gives you a nice, firm comfort. It's a supportive feel, not a pillow.
