It does what it's supposed to: delivers a faithful retro of a classic. The pros (style, build, history) outweigh the cons (break-in, weight) for most sneakerheads. Would I recommend it? Yeah, especially for your first pair of 6s. On feet, the design is just timeless. The 'Infrared' hits on the midsole and the tongue tab are so vibrant. They look even better in person than in pictures. The way the light catches the materials? "Chef's kiss". This is a shoe that gets compliments every time I wear it out. Now, a potential con: the weight. These aren't heavy, but they're not feather-light either. If you're used to ultra-boost type shoes, you'll feel the difference. Also, that padded tongue and collar can feel a bit warm in summer. It's a trade-off for that iconic look and ankle comfort. Who should maybe skip it? If you're solely chasing the most comfortable, cloud-like foot feel, look at newer models. Performance basketball players should obviously get modern kicks. Also, if you're on a tight budget and $200 USD is a stretch, there are more tech-forward options at that price point for pure comfort.
