First impression? The shape is "super" clean, and that black nubuck feels premium right out of the box. The iconic "Infrared" hits on the midsole? They pop even more in person. For a $200 USD shoe, the initial quality check seems solid. No major flaws on my pair. Putting these Air Jordan 6s on for the first time... the fit is pretty true to size for me. The ankle collar is high, giving that locked-in feel, which I appreciate for basketball or just casual wear. They're not the lightest shoe in the Jordan series, but you can feel the support. The cushioning from the visible Air unit is decent—it's comfortable, but don't expect Boost-level softness, okay? Now, a potential con? The toebox can feel a bit rigid initially. It might need some break-in time for some people. Also, because it's a higher-cut model, it might not be for everyone's style preference—some folks prefer low-tops. And at $200 USD, it's a commitment, though pretty standard for a Jordan retro release. Major pros? The style is unbeatable. This "Nike Air Jordan 6" is a straight-up legend. Durability seems great with the materials. It's also versatile; you can rock these with jeans, shorts, whatever. For $200 USD, you're getting a piece of sneaker culture. If you're into the history and the look, it's an easy win. No complicated story here.
