If you're used to Zoom Air or React foam, this will feel stiff. The toe box can be a bit roomy for some. And that iconic plastic lace locks? They can dig in if you lace super tight. It's not a performance beast by today's standards. Just keep that in mind. It's a lifestyle shoe first. On feet, the design really pops. The 'Infrared' hits on the midsole and lace lock are so vibrant in person. The high-cut design makes your legs look good. Compared to, say, an Air Jordan 1, the AJ6 has way more of a 90s basketball profile. It's a statement piece for sure, not a low-key sneaker. Now, a potential con? The cushioning might feel a bit dated to some. If you're used to modern, super-soft foam, the firmer ride of the Air Jordan 6 could be a letdown. Also, some colorways can be tricky to style compared to more versatile models. It's a very "specific" look. On feet, the design is just timeless. The 'Infrared' hits on the midsole and the tongue tab are so vibrant. They look even better in person than in pictures. The way the light catches the materials? "Chef's kiss". This is a shoe that gets compliments every time I wear it out.
