First impression? The box is classic, and the shoe itself has that iconic, bulky silhouette. The nubuck feels pretty decent right out of the box. For around $200 USD, the initial quality seems solid. Let's get these on foot. Sliding these on... the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning? It's firm, but in a good, supportive way - you're not getting Zoom Air cloud-like comfort, it's more about stability. The padded tongue and collar give a really secure, locked-down feel. The Nike Air Jordan 6 isn't the lightest shoe, but you feel that quality on foot. Now, potential cons? The comfort is "retro comfortable." Don't expect Boost or ZoomX levels of softness—it's firmer. The toe box can feel a bit restrictive if you have wider feet. And that plastic lace lock? Some find it gimmicky. It's not for everyone seeking all-day, cloud-like comfort. Just keep that in mind. Who might want to skip? If you prioritize lightweight, modern performance feel, look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer low-top or minimalist sneakers, the Air Jordan 6's bulk might not be your style. And if you're on a tight budget, $200 for a retro is a real consideration versus newer tech.
