You get a well-built, iconic sneaker. Weigh the firm cushioning and higher price point ($200 USD) against the timeless design. For me, it's a yes. It's a cornerstone of the "Jordan series". What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments below! Now, a potential con: the fit. My true size felt a bit roomy in the toebox. I'd recommend going down half a size if you like a snug fit, especially for performance. The Nike Air Jordan 6 can feel a little clunky if it's too loose. Also, that padded tongue and collar, while supportive, can be warm. Not the best choice for super hot summer days, honestly. 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. Let's get these on feet. Initial step-in is comfortable. The Air-Sole unit provides decent cushioning right away. The fit is snug, true to size for me. The padded collar? It locks your ankle in nicely. Honestly, the Nike Air Jordan 6 isn't the "lightest" shoe, but it doesn't feel bulky either. It's a good, supportive feel for casual wear or light ball.
