It's a legend. For the right person, it's absolutely worth it. You're buying an icon. Just go in with realistic expectations about the fit and feel. Don't expect Boost or React. Expect a piece of history that looks incredible on foot. That's my genuine take. 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. Now, the cons, because it's not for everyone. That padded collar can feel stiff and might rub at first. The cushioning is firm—if you want a super bouncy, modern ride, look elsewhere. Also, the price—$200 USD is steep for a retro. Some might find the fit a bit narrow, so maybe size up half. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Jordan 6" is noticeably more structured than a "Jordan 1". It offers more ankle support and has a different kind of cushioning. Versus a "Jordan 11", it's less sleek but has its own rugged charm. Within the Jordan series, the 6 sits in that sweet spot between retro style and wearable comfort. It's a distinct silhouette.
