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. Now, potential cons? That firm ride might not be for everyone. If you're used to super bouncy, React or Boost-type cushioning, the Air unit here will feel stiff. Also, the toe box can feel a bit restrictive if you have wider feet. It's a performance fit from a different era. Major pros? Timeless design, no question. The materials on this release are good. It's a versatile sneaker you can wear with jeans or shorts. Durability seems high. And of course, it's an Air Jordan 6—it carries that history and cool factor. For $200, you're getting a piece of sneaker culture that never really goes out of style. 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.
