I went true to size, and the "Nike Air Jordan 6" feels... secure. The inner sleeve and those molded panels give a good, locked-in feel around the midfoot. It's not the most plush thing ever, but it's comfortable right out of the box. The ankle collar is high, which I like for support. Overall, a pretty good first impression on foot. My final take? I'm really feeling this Nike Air Jordan 6. For the price, you get a well-built, legendary sneaker. Is it the most comfortable shoe in my closet? No. But does it make me smile every time I put it on? Absolutely. It's a solid addition that holds its value and its style. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Jordan 6 sits higher than a 1 or 3. The cushioning is firmer than a Jordan 11 or 13, for sure. You get Air-Sole units, but it's more about court feel than plush comfort. It's a different era of basketball shoe tech, and that shows. Now, a potential con? The toe box can feel a bit rigid for some people. It might need a short break-in period. Also, if you're used to modern, ultra-soft foam like ZoomX, the ride of the "Air Jordan 6" will feel firmer and more old-school. Just being real.
