The Air Jordan 6 can feel a bit clunky. If you're used to ultra-light, responsive shoes, this isn't it. The traction pattern is simple and might not be the best for serious ball these days. Also, that price point - $200 USD is steep for a retro that hasn't changed much tech-wise since '91. So, who is this shoe for? Honestly, it's for the collector, the fan of the OG colorways, or someone who wants a stylish, comfortable casual sneaker with heritage. If you love the "Jordan series" and the 'Infrared' story, this is a must. It's a straightforward, no-regrets pickup for that audience. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 is more of a tank than a Jordan 3 or 5. It's less about sleek curves and more about structured, geometric panels. The cushioning setup is similar to the 5, but the 6's ankle feel is more restrictive—in a protective way. If you have wider feet, you might prefer the roomier toebox of the 6 over some earlier models. Who might want to skip it? If you're seeking cutting-edge, cloud-like comfort or a performance basketball shoe, look at newer models. The "Nike Air Jordan 6" is a lifestyle retro first. Also, if you have very wide feet, the fit might be snug. And if you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable daily beaters out there.
