These aren't heavy, but they're not feather-light either. If you're used to ultra-boost type shoes, you'll feel the difference. Also, that padded tongue and collar can feel a bit warm in summer. It's a trade-off for that iconic look and ankle comfort. Comparing it to other "Jordans"... the "6" is more structured than a "Jordan 1". Cushioning is better than a "1" but less than a "Jordan 11" or "13". It's a great middle ground. If you like the chunkier "Jordan 4" or "5", you'll vibe with this silhouette. It's part of that iconic "Jordan series" DNA for sure. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize ultra-soft, cloud-like comfort, look at newer models. If you have a very narrow foot, the fit might feel a bit off. And if you're on a tight budget, $200 USD is a commitment for a shoe with 30-year-old tech. It's about the heritage, not the hype. Be real about what you want from a sneaker. 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.
