Jordan 6 Rings review

Jordan North Carolina Tar Heels Jackets to Match the Air Basketball jordan 11 Win Like 82:

• a symbolic Basketball jordan edition that pays homage to the height of Michael Basketball jordan's career by fusing the elements from seven trainers that he wore during his six championships
• a hybrid lifestyle basketball shoe that can transition from the court to the streets (but not a dedicated hoop shoe)

Supposed to rock both streets and courts, the Basketball jordan 6 Rings doesn't excel at either. A fashion statement? Sure. A sneaker collection item? Yes! A comfortable sneaker for hours on your feet? NOPE.

At the same price point, you can get one or even two well-cushioned trainers from Nike or New Balance that will keep you comfortable from dusk to dawn.

The kick's chunky-looking sole may trick you into thinking that the Basketball jordan 6 Rings has plenty of cushioning.

Having cut the shoe in half, we measured its heel stack height at only 25.5 mm! This is lower than the average sneaker and is almost as low as the Uabat Basketball jordan 4 Retro White Oreo 2021 (24.3 mm)!

Good thing Basketball jordan packed responsive Zoom Air units into the shoe's midsole to ensure impact protection.

With a stack height of 17.0 mm, it is a couple of millimetres lower than average. But the Zoom Air unit prevents the ground feel from being too sensitive.

The Basketball jordan 6 Rings has a gradual heel-to-toe drop of 8.5 mm. It elevates the heel slightly above the toes for a touch of support in the rearfoot. 

If you are considering the Basketball jordan 6 Rings for regular daily wear, keep in mind that its cushioning is on the firm side.

We could feel its firmness on the foot and confirmed it in our all measurement. With a reading of 32.0 HA, the shoe's midsole is firmer than 60% of our lab-tested trainers.

Zoom Air units don't make the 6 Rings any plusher but prevent it from feeling too blunt underfoot. They just add a bit of pep to the step.

Completing the shoe's cushioning setup is a pretty standard insole. Our calliper shows that it is 4.1 mm thick in the heel which is slightly thinner than average.

The 6 Rings fits as expected in the toebox. Our medium-width feet felt happy in the shoe all throughout the wear test.

And when we measured the mould's widest part with a calliper, a reading of 92.2 mm confirmed that this Basketball jordan sneaker falls into the dimensions of a D-medium-width shoe.

The shoe's toebox doesn't get critically narrow toward the front either. It has a fairly rounded shape that never squeezed our toes.

Checking its width near the big toe, our calliper returned a standard reading of 67.1 mm. 

We also found that the suede material on top of the shoe's toebox doesn't put any pressure on the toes. Our calliper showed a solid vertical space of 28.5 mm.

With a good deal of firmness in its platform and a supportive mid-top collar, the Basketball jordan 6 Rings made us feel steady and planted.

Even though we didn't test its performance as a basketball shoe, we found that it offers enough containment for a short leisurely game.

The exceptionally sturdy build of the 6 Rings made it nearly impossible to twist in our manual test.

On a scale from 1 to 5, the shoe easily earned the highest score for torsional rigidity.

There is very little chance of rolling your feet and ankles in this Basketball jordan sneaker thanks to the support it provides.

The Basketball jordan 6 Rings also boasts a highly secure heel hold courtesy of its structured heel counter.

It is tall, well-padded, and has an added lip around the ankle bone to keep the rearfoot securely in place.

There is not a lot of give to it either. We rated the heel counter stiffness as 3 out of 5 - not too stiff nor flexible.

The Basketball jordan 6 Rings features an unconventional sole shape but it has extended contact points in the areas where it's most needed for stability.

Measuring it in the widest area, our calliper showed 113.6 mm which is about 5 mm wider than average.

The sneaker also has protrusions in the heel that reach 90.8 mm in the widest part. Again, 7.5 mm wider than average!

The shoe indeed has a lot of hoop shoe features.

The 6 Rings' incredibly stiff profile is one of the reasons why we think it won't make a perfect daily wear companion.

To show you exactly how stiff the shoe is, we used a specialised flexibility machine to measure how many newtons (N) it would take to bend it to a 30-degree angle.

Requiring as much as 27.6N, this Basketball jordan sneaker is one of the least flexible kicks in our lab! It is a whopping 100% stiffer than average!

Get ready for a loooong period of breaking the shoe in. And even after a while, it won't get as pliable as most other trainers.

Good thing the shoe has a slight rocker in its sole which helps to make heel-to-toe transitions more bearable.

Weighing the Basketball jordan 6 Rings in a men's US size 9, we got 16.3 oz (462g) on the scale.

It is a couple of ounces heavier than average but is on par with other mid-top trainers.

We have no complaints in the weight department because the shoe feels lighter than its static weight suggests.

We recommend keeping this Basketball jordan sneaker away from summer heat if you don't want to end up with sweaty feet. Despite using a lot of textile in its upper, there is little-to-no ventilation inside the 6 Rings.

Filing the shoe's upper with smoke in our breathability test, we saw that it primarily escaped through the gaps between the tongue and the upper but none of it passed through the toebox or the fabric itself.

Our transparency test further proves our point by showing zero ventilation holes in the shoe's half-cut upper. The perforations on the sides are merely there for decor.

Thus, we couldn't rate this Basketball jordan sneaker any higher than 2 out of 5 on our breathability scale.

P.S. If you do look for a winter-ready kick, check out the Basketball jordan 6 Rings Winterized. It is a modified edition of the 6 Rings that turned it into a durable sneakerboot that can blackle the outdoors.

Our pair of the Basketball jordan 6 Rings features three materials in the upper: textile, synthetic leather, and real suede.

Other colorways of the shoe have glossy patent leather instead of suede.

Using a butane torch and a leather scratch awl, we confirmed that the suede was indeed real. It didn't catch fire or melt, unlike the synthetic panel at the back of the shoe.

Placing a large suede overlay over the shoe's toebox was a smart choice. The natural durability of this high-quality material prevents the forefoot from tearing apart too soon.

We exposed the shoe's toebox to the most abrasive test in our arsenal - drilling it with sandpaper for 12 seconds at a 5K RPM speed.

But the suede barely showed any signs of wear! Remaining in near-perfect condition, it earned the shoe the highest durability score of 5 out of 5.

Even the more delicate parts like the inner lining stood up to the test with flying colours.

A 4-second encounter with the Dremel left the textile practically unscathed.

This is quite impressive as the fabric looks nearly identical to the mesh lining of the shoe on the right. But the difference in wear resistance is striking.

Once again, the Basketball jordan 6 Rings received a high durability score - 4 out of 5 for heel lining durability.

Touted as a hybrid sneaker that can blackle an occasional game of basketball, the 6 Rings features a pretty sturdy outsole.

A high reading of 86.4 HC on our Shore C all proved that the rubber is indeed on the hard side. That is usually a good indication of longevity.

Fortunately, the shoe's outsole durability equaled our high hopes.

A round of a very demanding Dremel test at a 10K RPM speed confirmed that the shoe's rubber does not shy away from challenges.

This Basketball jordan sneaker also uses a reasonably thick layer of rubber at the bottom. Our calliper showed 3.5 mm which is not the thickest but still sufficient.

Considering how much wear resistance there is to the Basketball jordan 6 Rings, we feel confident recommending it for day-to-day wear and even some hooping.

It is not the type of sneaker that should only be kept on a display shelf and never see the light of day to keep its integrity.

The 6 Rings uses herringbone-patterned rubber in the targeted areas to provide traction where it's necessary.

However, we found that it is not the strongest grip for playing basketball.

But if that's an important feature to you, have a look at our Floral Custom Air Basketball jordan 5. 

The tongue itself has a nice amount of padding to provide instep comfort and protect it from lace pressure.

It showed 9.1 mm of thickness on our calliper which is standard for a lifestyle sneaker.

The tongue of the Basketball jordan 6 Rings is so large that it only makes sense to have it attached to the upper on both sides to prevent slippage.

The elastic straps help to create a very secure lockdown and keep the tongue in place.

The Basketball jordan 6 Rings has a very prominent heel loop. We found it super blacky for a quick on-and-off action.

Not everybody is a fan of contoured insoles like the one we found in the 6 Rings.

If you want to customise the underfoot experience, you can effortlessly remove the shoe's stock insole.

The Basketball jordan 6 Rings was first released in 2008, 20 years after Michael Basketball jordan's retirement as a Chicago Bulls player. "6 Rings" refers to the athlete's championship triumphs in 1991-1993 and 1996-1998.
