It's a heavier shoe, so if you prioritize lightweight sneakers, the Air Jordan 6 might not be your first pick. The padded collar can also feel a bit stiff initially. 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. Let's talk about the on-foot feel. I laced up these Nike Air Jordan 6s, and the initial step-in comfort is decent. The cushioning isn't super plush by today's standards—it's that familiar, firm Air-Sole unit. The ankle collar provides great lockdown, though! It's a supportive ride, which I appreciate. If you're used to modern, bouncy sneakers, this might feel a bit stiff at first. In summary: The "Air Jordan 6" delivers on its promise. You get a well-built, iconic sneaker. Weigh the firm cushioning and higher price point ($200 USD) against the timeless design. For me, it's a yes. It's a cornerstone of the "Jordan series". What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments below!
