First impression? The shape is iconic, man. The build quality feels solid right out of the box. That nubuck is nice and the Infrared hits pop. For around $200 USD, the materials seem on point for a classic Jordan release. Let's talk on-feet. Slipping into these Air Jordan 6s, the fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar provides that signature, locked-in feel—it's supportive without being restrictive. The cushioning? It's a firm, stable ride, which I actually prefer for casual wear. It's not ultra-plush like some modern sneakers, but that's part of its DNA. For $200 USD, you're getting a piece of sneaker culture. Comparing it to other Jordans? The AJ6 sits higher than an AJ1, for sure. Cushioning is softer than the 1s and 4s, in my opinion. But it's not as plush or tech-heavy as a modern Jordan like the 34 or 35. It's a great middle ground. If you love 90s basketball shoe aesthetics and feel, the Nike Air Jordan 6 delivers that vibe perfectly. 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.
