First impression out of the box? The build quality is solid, man. The nubuck feels premium, and that iconic silhouette is just "chef's kiss". For around $200 USD, you're getting a classic piece of the Jordan series. The shape is perfect right out of the box, no weird creasing or anything. Who might want to skip? If you prioritize lightweight, modern performance feel, look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer low-top or minimalist sneakers, the Air Jordan 6's bulk might not be your style. And if you're on a tight budget, $200 for a retro is a real consideration versus newer tech. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 sits higher off the ground than a Jordan 1, for sure. It's more of a mid-top feel. Cushioning is different too - less board-like than a 1, but also not as soft as something like a Jordan 13. It's its own thing. If you like that late 80s/early 90s basketball shoe aesthetic, this is a prime example. Now, a potential con? The cushioning might feel a bit dated to some. If you're used to modern, super-soft foam, the firmer ride of the Air Jordan 6 could be a letdown. Also, some colorways can be tricky to style compared to more versatile models. It's a very "specific" look.
