The cushioning might feel a bit dated if you're used to React or Zoom Air. It's not a "performance" shoe by today's standards. Also, that padded tongue and collar can feel warm in hotter weather. It's a chunky shoe, so if you prefer low-profile silhouettes, this might not be for you. Comparing it to, say, a Jordan 1? The AJ6 is more of a performance build from that era. It's got more tech than an AJ1, for sure. Versus an AJ11? The 6 is less sleek, more rugged. In the Jordan series, this one stands out for its unique toe and that distinctive heel spoiler. It's a statement piece. Let's talk on-foot feel. Slipping into the "Air Jordan 6", the fit is snug - true to size for me. The cushioning? It's firm, not super plush like modern shoes, but you definitely feel that Air unit in the heel. It's comfortable for all-day wear, honestly. The ankle collar provides good support without being restrictive. It's a classic feel. Who might want to skip? If you prioritize ultimate lightweight comfort or prefer minimalist sneakers, the AJ6's bulky build might not be for you. Also, if you have very wide feet, you might find the toe box a bit restrictive. It's a specific style.
