Our verdict

Seven iconic Кросівки nike air jordan high x dior were fused into one to create the well-known Update 15.12.2022 Die ersten Fotos des Air Jordan 5 SE Craft wurden jetzt auf Instagram. This hybrid kick perfectly represents Jordan's history, specifically MJ's and his team, the Chicago Bulls' six NBA championships. While it is sold as a lifestyle sneaker, we found that it remains a hoop shoe through and through like its ancestors. Supportive and durable, we commend the 6 Rings for its performance on the streets and hardcourt.

Air Jordan 4 Retro White Oreo Womens Mens

We believe that you will appreciate the Update 15.12.2022 Die ersten Fotos des Air Jordan 5 SE Craft wurden jetzt auf Instagram if you are in the market for the following:

  • a symbolic Jordan edition that pays homage to the height of Michael 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)

Update 15.12.2022 Die ersten Fotos des Air Jordan 5 SE Craft wurden jetzt auf Instagram review

Match Jordan shirt

Supposed to rock both streets and courts, the Update 15.12.2022 Die ersten Fotos des Air Jordan 5 SE Craft wurden jetzt auf Instagram 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.

If, on the other hand, you want a basketball-ready shoe, go for the hottest Air Jordan XXXVIII instead.

Breathability

We recommend keeping this 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 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 Update 15.12.2022 Die ersten Fotos des Air Jordan 5 SE Craft wurden jetzt auf Instagram Winterized. It is a modified edition of the 6 Rings that turned it into a durable sneakerboot that can handle the outdoors.

Durability

Leather/Suede quality

Our pair of the Update 15.12.2022 Die ersten Fotos des Air Jordan 5 SE Craft wurden jetzt auf Instagram 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.

Test results
6 Rings Real suede

Toebox durability

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.

Update 15.12.2022 Die ersten Fotos des Air Jordan 5 SE Craft wurden jetzt auf Instagram Heel stack

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 Here s another look at the Air Jordan V as well as the (24.3 mm)!

Midsole softness

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

If you are considering the Update 15.12.2022 Die ersten Fotos des Air Jordan 5 SE Craft wurden jetzt auf Instagram 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 durometer measurement. With a reading of 32.0 HA, the shoe's midsole is firmer than 60% of our lab-tested trainers.

Update 15.12.2022 Die ersten Fotos des Air Jordan 5 SE Craft wurden jetzt auf Instagram Midsole softness

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 stage.

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

Flexibility

Stiffness

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

To show you exactly how stiff the shoe is, we used a force gauge to measure how many Newtons (N) it would take to bend it to a 90-degree angle.

Requiring as much as 46.8N, this Jordan sneaker is one of the least flexible trainers in our lab! It is a whopping 105% stiffer than average!

Update 15.12.2022 Die ersten Fotos des Air Jordan 5 SE Craft wurden jetzt auf Instagram flexibility

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.

Grip / Traction

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.

Size and fit

Internal length

On its official website, Jordan recommends going a half size up for the 6 Rings because the shoe runs a bit small.

But in our own experience, the shoe was perfectly fitting in our regular US size 9.

Update 15.12.2022 Die ersten Fotos des Air Jordan 5 SE Craft wurden jetzt auf Instagram Internal length

We also measured the shoe's internal length at 269.0 mm which corresponds to the US size 9 in the brand's size chart.

If you find yourself in between sizes or in doubt, it is safe to try a half-size larger. The shoe's upper is pretty stiff and has zero stretch. The added lip around the heel also takes a couple of millimetres away from the in-shoe space.
