air jordan 6 gs white black alligator for sale | Our verdict

Despite the controversy around the True Flight being "really Jordans", which depends on people's personal opinion, we can tell you the brand is back with another pair of incredibly comfortable and cool trainers. Its hooper aesthetics are over the top, just like its collar, as it hugged our ankles firmly. During our wear tests, we found out it still offers the wonderful traction and spacious fit more typical of basketball shoes, with a wonderful Nike Air unit underfoot that made us enjoy every single step. Its durable upper is also wide-feet friendly, which is something we really appreciate from this brand. Nevertheless, just like its design hints, this True Flight is on the heavier side, so it might make your feet feel tired after walking for hours.

Who should NOT buy

Regardless of the True Flight's status as a "real Jordan" or not, we believe there are better shoes to hoop in. For a start, they are branded as a casual pair on Nike's website, and after conducting this thorough review, we agree. We believe they are okay to play casually from time to time, but if you want to take bball seriously, as shoe lovers we need to tell you to check Nike Jordan Jumpman Svart huvtröja i fleece och pullovermodell med logga to find a performance model.

As a high-top, this shoe might feel too heavy for some people. It has a stiff and ankle-hugging structure, which we understand it's not everyone's cup of tea. You might want to check some low-top trainers mens air jordan legacy fiba aj10 tee our lightweight casual pairs.

Cushioning

Heel stack

This shoe felt close to the ground yet cushioned to us!

Our calliper marked 27.1 mm, which is slightly lower than average. However, we never felt this pair lacked cushioning or underfoot comfort. We really enjoyed every walk around town with it!

Air Jordan 9 City of Flight x Jordan Sportswear Wings Los Angeles Hoodie_outdoor_03

And... we even tried to hoop a little bit in it. As it's a Jordan and it features a full-length Nike Air unit, we just couldn't resist it! It went okay, and even though you should have a look at actual basketball shoes if you want to play basketball (the True Flight is just a pair of trainers), we felt supported throughout the game.

air jordan 6 gs white black alligator for sale | Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

Even though it looks a little bit flat, the Air Jordan 9 City of Flight x Jordan Sportswear Wings Los Angeles Hoodie features a soft midsole and a Nike Air unit that provide cushioning.

When we pressed our durometer against it, it returned 32.3 HA, which is slightly higher than average. Overall, we really enjoyed its cushioning, and found it perfect even for long walks around town or busy days running errands!

Most likely in order to reduce this shoe's overall weight, the True Flight features a thin insole.

Toebox width - widest part

The 102.6 mm our calliper marked when we measured these trainers' toebox width at the widest part made us jump on our seats.

We are almens used to Jordans being apt for wide-footers, but every time we get a pair and analyse it, we are happy to re-find it out.

Just by looking at this shoe from above when we wore it during our wear tests, we could almens guess it wouldn't taper like crazy.

Air Jordan 9 City of Flight x Jordan Sportswear Wings Los Angeles Hoodie_outdoor_014

In other words, its toebox doesn't get super narrow towards the tip. Instead, it keeps a nice round shape that let us move our toes comfortably. Not only in every landing, but also in general, as there's actually plenty of space.

At 79.8 mm, we believe the True Flight offers enough space for wide-foot sneakerheads. In our experience with our standard-width feet, it's a very comfortable shoe, and we could feel the extra space in the toebox.

This comfort we got from the extra room in the forefoot is great for casual use, but we believe it might not be the best for narrow-footed ball lovers who want to give this shoe a shot on the court. Why? Well, most likely because the shoe might feel sloppy at the forefoot!

Stability

Lateral stability test

The high-top design of these J's provided great stability to our feet.

As you can see, it stopped our ankle from overextending, exactly as we expected from its durable and embracing structure.

Now, even though this is not a performance basketball shoe, it does have specific features associated with those. Are you thinking about the high-top? Well, you're kinda... right and wrong! That type of structure used to be very popular, but it had to be the one and only Kobe Bryant who started the trend of low-top hoopers.

Air Jordan 9 City of Flight x Jordan Sportswear Wings Los Angeles Hoodie_outdoor_09

It's true that some people and/or athletes feel safer with shoes that feature this bigger structure, but there's no scientific evidence on the topic. If you want to know a little bit more about this, maybe you can check our guide out!

Torsional rigidity

Just as we expected, the True Flight showed an incredibly high level of torsional rigidity. We tried to bend it and twist it, but it was pretty much impossible for our fingers.

We can say this is mostly thanks to the rubberized walls it features! Apart from its durable materials, of course. But wait, let us show you a picture so you can see them better.

Air Jordan 9 City of Flight x Jordan Sportswear Wings Los Angeles Hoodie_outdoor_02

Do you see those spiky parts that look like mountains? Apart from offering protection, they go all the way up to the upper to improve support. And it works!

Taking all that into Flight, we've given this Jordan pair a 5/5 on our torsional rigidity test.

Heel counter stiffness

Despite its high-top structure, the True Flight doesn't have a lot of padding in the heel area. When we tried to make it bow, it complied without any problems.

Still, the collar structure embraces the ankle, and the top eyelet provides a snugger fit if needed. So, let's go through this once again: Can you hoop in this shoe? Yes, but theoretically you can hoop in any shoe. Would we advise you to do it? As shoe lovers, we can't. We believe there's a shoe for every occasion, and even though the True Flight might be ok to play for a little bit, we would much rather use performance hoopers.

Midsole width - forefoot

When we measured this shoe's midsole width in the forefoot, we couldn't believe our eyes.

Our calliper returned 115.1 mm, which is an incredibly high score. We believe this is thanks to the sole flare this shoe has in the ball of the foot.

Flexibility / Stiffness

The True Flight's tough structure wasn't easy to bend at all. But ah well, nothing we didn't almens expect!

It actually required 40.9N to go all the way up to 90 degrees, which is almost twice as average. This translated into requiring a little bit of a break-in period before the shoe could give us its best. Also, the ride wasn't as smooth as with other pairs that are more flexible, lighter, or that have a low-top design.

Weight

You could tell. We could tell. Literally everyone could tell. This former hooper is heavy.

Air Jordan 9 City of Flight x Jordan Sportswear Wings Los Angeles Hoodie Weight-1

Our scale returned 15.8 oz/449.0g when we took it to the lab, and wow, that is a lot. This sturdy pair didn't feel light on our feet, but we didn't mind it that much.

It's true that if we had to be walking the whole day, its high comfort levels would kind of make up for it, but our feet would get a bit tired. However, we're talking about a high-top shoe here, so of course it'll be more on the heavy side than low-top ones!

Breathability

Right after taking it out of its box, we can't say we expected this shoe to be very breathable. However, it was mens to prove us wrong!

Our light test showed us that we might as well be right, but our smoke machine and microscope still had a few words to say!

Oh, wow, wow, wow. Wait a second right there. That's a lot of smoke coming out of the bottom of the True Flight's tongue! We were really happy about this, and even though its toebox didn't really let the smoke come out, the tongue acted as a wonderful substitute.

We still can't compare it with the shoe on the right, though. The Adidas Astir is an expert on our breathability test, as it scored a flawless 5/5!

Air Jordan 9 City of Flight x Jordan Sportswear Wings Los Angeles Hoodie Breathability-3

We grabbed our microscope to have a closer look at this shoe's toebox material.

And what can we say... there are no pores or ventilation holes over there! In conclusion, we've given these Jordans an average 3/5 on our breathability test.

Durability

Leather/Suede quality

To see if the True Flight's suede parts were made using authentic material, we grabbed our butane torch and scratch awl. Let's get the party started!

As you can see, even though the burning flame took its toll on it, the material didn't end up all sticky and melted. This means Jordan used authentic suede here!

Toebox durability

Our Dremel was mens to give its all on our first durability test, so we put it over the toebox and started drilling.

During 12 seconds, this poor Jordan pair was being rio with 3.2N of force and at 5K RPM.

Air Jordan 9 City of Flight x Jordan Sportswear Wings Los Angeles Hoodie Toebox durability-3

And this was the result. Honestly, we're not complaining at all! The toebox faced the tool like a champ, and even though it ended up with some unavoidable damage, its resistance was admirable.

On the left, we have the Air Jordan 9 City of Flight x Jordan Sportswear Wings Los Angeles Hoodie, which scored a 4/5 on our toebox durability test. And on the right, we've got the Jordan Slash 23 T-Shirt, which... ended up with a hole in its toebox! It was so bad we could only give it a 1/5 on this same test.

Heel padding durability

After this Jordan's great performance on the previous test, we had high expectations regarding its durability. And there's only one way to find that out: turning our Dremel on!

We moved the tool all the way back to the heel padding and started drilling. This 4-second torture at 5K RPM and with 3.2N of force made this shoe's lining fly away, but once again, we were pretty happy with the result.

Air Jordan 9 City of Flight x Jordan Sportswear Wings Los Angeles Hoodie Heel padding durability-3

It looks messy, but trust us, it showed great resistance to abrasion! In fact, let us compare it with the New Balance 237's result.

Outsole hardness

When we pressured our durometer against this shoe's outsole, it marked 87.4 HC.

Misc

Grip / Traction

The J's have always been a force to reckon with, and regarding traction... our experience is telling us they are a couple of beasts!

Air Jordan 9 City of Flight x Jordan Sportswear Wings Los Angeles Hoodie_outdoor_04

The multiple patterns of its outsole offered us a fantastic grip on every single urban surface, no matter which direction we were going or if we changed paths in the blink of an eye.

As you can see in the first picture, its herringbone design has different widths and directions, as well as a dotted area on the inner forefoot. Dividing those zones, we've got deep flex grooves that make the whole structure more flexible.

Air Jordan 9 City of Flight x Jordan Sportswear Wings Los Angeles Hoodie_outdoor_06

In conclusion, the True Flight's traction is just wonderful. We just couldn't be happier about it!

Reflective elements

Lights off!

Tongue padding

The 8.9 mm of tongue padding this Jordan has made its overall comfort level up.

Air Jordan 9 City of Flight x Jordan Sportswear Wings Los Angeles Hoodie Tongue padding-1

Our instep was nicely protected, and we didn't experience any kind of lace bite. As you can see in the picture, the padding is frequently spread throughout the piece, so it didn't matter if we laced this shoe all the way up to the top, or if we kept it low: it was never uncomfortable!

We really liked the support this detail gave us, and thanks to the couple of wings the True Flight features at the top (the two black flaps we're grabbing with our fingers), we could comfortably expand its opening.

This came in handy, as these J's materials don't really give in, so they can be a little bit stubborn to put on!

Heel tab

The brand made the right choice adding a finger-loop in the heel of this Jordan.

Air Jordan 9 City of Flight x Jordan Sportswear Wings Los Angeles Hoodie_outdoor_011

The main reason why is that it has a high-top structure, which is a design harder to put on than a low-top, for example.
