You're paying for legacy, quality materials, and a design that never gets old. It's not the most technologically advanced, but it's a certified classic that always looks good. Putting these Air Jordan 6s on... the fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar gives that classic, high-top feel and lockdown. It's not the most plush shoe ever, but the Air-Sole unit in the heel provides a firm, stable cushioning. You definitely feel the heritage basketball shoe vibe when you walk around in them. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Jordan 6" sits differently than, say, a "Jordan 1". It's more of a mid-top, bulky basketball silhouette from the '90s. Versus a "Jordan 11", the 6 is less about sleekness and more about that rugged, defined look. I think the 6 has its own unique charm in the "Jordan series" that hasn't been overdone. Now, a potential con? The toebox can feel a bit rigid initially. It might need some break-in time for some people. Also, because it's a higher-cut model, it might not be for everyone's style preference—some folks prefer low-tops. And at $200 USD, it's a commitment, though pretty standard for a Jordan retro release.
