Initial step-in is comfortable. The Air-Sole unit provides decent cushioning right away. The fit is snug, true to size for me. The padded collar? It locks your ankle in nicely. Honestly, the Nike Air Jordan 6 isn't the "lightest" shoe, but it doesn't feel bulky either. It's a good, supportive feel for casual wear or light ball. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Jordan 6" is less bulky than a 4 or 5, but it's not as streamlined as a 1 or 3. The cushioning is firmer than, say, a Jordan 11 or 13. It's its own thing. If you like that late-80s/early-90s Tinker Hatfield design language, you'll dig this model from the Jordan series. Now, the cons, because no shoe is perfect. The outsole is a dust magnet, seriously. And like I said, if you're used to modern Zoom Air or Boost, the Air-Sole unit in here will feel basic. It's not a performance shoe anymore. The tongue can also be a bit bulky under pants. So, if cutting-edge comfort is your top priority, the "Air Jordan 6" might not be your first pick. On feet, the design really pops. The 'Infrared' hits on the midsole and lace lock are just "chef's kiss". This Nike Air Jordan 6 has a bulky profile, but in a good, aggressive way. It looks powerful on camera and in person. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1 or 4, the 6 is chunkier and more of a statement piece. It's a shoe that commands attention.
