It's a legend. For the right person, it's absolutely worth it. You're buying an icon. Just go in with realistic expectations about the fit and feel. Don't expect Boost or React. Expect a piece of history that looks incredible on foot. That's my genuine take. Who might want to skip it? If you prioritize all-day, cloud-like comfort above all else, look at newer models. Performance basketball players should obviously avoid these for hooping. If you prefer low-top or minimalist sneakers, the "Jordan 6's" bulky profile isn't for you. It's about style and heritage, not modern tech. Comparing it to, say, an Air Jordan 1? The AJ6 is a bulkier, more structured shoe. It offers more ankle support by design. Versus an AJ11, the cushioning is less plush. It's a different era of tech. This Nike Air Jordan 6 is for those who appreciate the original Tinker Hatfield blueprint. Now, a potential con: the weight. 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.
