It's not the most innovative shoe in my closet, but it's one I'll wear often. The quality is good for a Retro, and it just makes you feel cool. A classic for a reason. On feet, the design just works. The Infrared colorway is iconic for a reason - it looks great in person and on camera. The perforations and those plastic lace locks add so much detail. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1, the Air Jordan 6 has a much bulkier, 90s basketball silhouette. It's a statement piece, not a sleek, low-profile sneaker. Sliding into these "Air Jordan 6s"... the fit is snug, true to size. The interior padding is noticeable—it's a comfortable, secure hug around your ankle. They're not the lightest sneaker in the "Jordan" line, but you feel that stability. The visible Air unit in the heel? You can feel it, but it's firm, not super plush like some modern shoes. Comparing it to my other Jordans... the "6" is more substantial than a 1, more streamlined than a 4 or 5. It occupies its own space. The price, around $200 USD, is pretty standard for a retro these days. You get what you pay for: a well-made, classic silhouette. It doesn't have the hype of some others, but sometimes that's a good thing.
