First impression? The box is classic, and the shoe itself has that iconic, bulky silhouette. The nubuck feels pretty decent right out of the box. For around $200 USD, the initial quality seems solid. Let's get these on foot. On foot now, and the fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan 6 has a snug, secure lockdown, especially around the ankle collar. It's not the lightest shoe, you definitely feel its presence, but the cushioning... it's firm. Don't expect crazy bounce, it's more about stability. A classic feel, for sure. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 sits higher around the ankle than a Jordan 1 or 4. Cushioning is less soft than a Jordan 13, for example. It's its own thing—a 90s basketball shoe feel. If you love that era's aesthetic and don't need max comfort, you'll appreciate this. The Air Jordan 6 represents a specific point in the Jordan series timeline. Comparing it to other Jordans, the 6 sits uniquely between the sleekness of the 5 and the bulk of the 7. It has its own distinct personality. For $200, you're paying for the iconic design and heritage. If you want a modern performance basketball shoe, look elsewhere. This is a lifestyle and style piece first.
