Durability seems great; the materials can take a beating. That infrared hit on the midsole is just "fire". For $200 USD, you're getting a piece of sneaker history with solid construction. It's a must-have for any serious Jordan collector, no question. Comparing it to, say, a Jordan 1? The "Jordan 6" is generally more comfortable for longer periods because of that Air unit. Versus a Jordan 11? It's less performance-oriented and more of a lifestyle piece now. Within the Jordan series, the 6 sits in a nice spot—recognizable, wearable, and with a distinct 90s vibe that's hard to beat. Comparing it to, say, a "Jordan 1"? It's a totally different animal. The "AJ6" is more of a mid-top, structured basketball shoe from that era. It's not as minimalist as a 1, and it feels more substantial on foot. If you love 90s basketball aesthetics, this is your jam. Who should maybe pass? If you need all-day, cloud-like comfort, look elsewhere. If you have very wide feet, definitely try before you buy. And if you're new to Jordans and want the softest option, maybe start with a later model. This isn't the most forgiving sneaker in the lineup.
