The materials are tough. That toe bumper? It'll save the shoe from creasing badly. The lockdown from the lace loops is excellent. For everyday wear or even light ball, these can take a beating. That's a major plus. So, is it worth the $200? For me, yes. You're paying for heritage, quality materials, and an undeniably cool look. The Nike Air Jordan 6 isn't trying to be the most advanced shoe today; it's honoring its legacy. And it does that job perfectly. On feet, the design really pops. The 'Infrared' hits on the midsole and lace lock are just "chef's kiss". This Nike Air Jordan 6 has a bulky profile, but in a good, aggressive way. It looks powerful on camera and in person. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1 or 4, the 6 is chunkier and more of a statement piece. It's a shoe that commands attention. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultimate, cloud-like comfort above all else, look at newer models. The Nike Air Jordan 6 isn't uncomfortable, but it's not a modern performance runner. Also, if you prefer low-top or minimalist sneakers, this chunky, high-top silhouette probably isn't for you. It's a specific vibe from the Jordan series.
