.. the fit is snug. They hug my foot pretty well from the get-go. The ankle collar is high, which I like for support. They're not the lightest shoe, but you feel that stability. It's a different feel from, say, a Jordan 1—more structured. Putting these Air Jordan 6s on, the fit is true to size. The inner sleeve provides a snug, comfortable lockdown around the ankle, which is a huge plus. The cushioning from the visible Air unit in the heel is noticeable – it's not super plush, but it gives a firm, stable feel. Definitely a different vibe from more modern basketball shoes. Here's a major pro: the materials. This particular Air Jordan 6 uses a really nice grade of nubuck. It's soft, doesn't feel cheap, and should age beautifully with some wear. The toe cap overlay is also great for durability—scuffs won't show as easily. For a retro release, Nike did a good job here. It feels like a proper premium product from the Jordan series. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize all-day, cloud-like comfort above all else, look at newer models. Performance basketball players should obviously avoid these for hooping. If you prefer low-top or minimalist sneakers, the "Jordan 6's" bulky profile isn't for you. It's about style and heritage, not modern tech.
