First impression out of the box? The build quality is solid, man. The nubuck feels premium, and that iconic silhouette is just "chef's kiss". For around $200 USD, you're getting a classic piece of the Jordan series. The shape is perfect right out of the box, no weird creasing or anything. So, who is this shoe for? Honestly, it's perfect for sneakerheads who value history and iconic design. If you're into the 'Infrared' color story or just building a diverse Jordan collection, the Air Jordan 6 is a must. It's also good for someone who wants a sturdy, supportive sneaker for everyday wear with a statement look. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize maximum comfort and a pillowy step above all else, look at newer tech. Also, if you have very wide feet, definitely try before you buy. This isn't the most forgiving fit. It's a specific feel that not every foot will love. Sliding into these "Air Jordan 6s"... the fit is true to size for me. The initial feel is a bit stiff, which is totally normal for a retro. The ankle collar is padded and locks you in, no doubt. But let's be real – the cushioning isn't super plush by today's standards. It's firm. You're buying these for the look and the legacy, not for a cloud-like ride. That's just my honest take.
