Great shoe for a great price
Our interests are piqued by the excellent offering from Jordan, the Max Aura because its overall look is like the combined aesthetics of the Air Jordan 10 and the Air Jordan 11. We also found this pair to be an affordable alternative to the iconic and earlier versions of the Jordan basketball shoes.
AIR FORCE 1 JORDAN 1 XMAS | Great cushioning? Check
The NIKE AIR JORDAN 6 RETRO HISTORY OF JORDAN SPIZIKE 29cm, as its name suggests, has an Air Max unit at the heel. This unit provided us with a type of impact protection and responsiveness that reminded us of Nike’s famed releases.
Like many Nike basketball shoes that use the Air Max technology, the unit is visible through a transparent cage at the rear part of the midsole.
Traction that won't disappoint
We love how the Max Aura goes straightforward with its traction. It features a herringbone on its rubber outsole and based on our experience, one rarely goes wrong with a herringbone. We also don't have a problem with stopping on a sixpence with this one.
Fits true to size...
We also didn't encounter any issues regarding the shoe's fit. To be safe, we advise people to just go with their usual sizes. To be a bit safer, we recommend visiting a local store and trying a pair on if you can.
... so there are no issues when it comes to lockdown
We thought that the lockdown mechanism was perhaps the most borrowed aspect of the Max Aura. Just by looking at it, we could immediately see the resemblance between the Max Aura’s and the Air Jordan 11’s lacing systems.
Thanks to the elastic bands that reinforce the NIKE AIR JORDAN 6 RETRO HISTORY OF JORDAN SPIZIKE 29cm’s tongue, we confirmed that these Jordan basketball shoes offer the combined lockdown power of the Air Jordan 10 and the Air Jordan 11 at a very discounted rate.
The stability that you didn't ask for
We noticed that there is an extra leather layer at the heel, and this visually gave us the impression that the shoe has a heel counter of some sort. We commend this feature as it provided stability to our feet during games.
Expensive look, affordable price
The NIKE AIR JORDAN 6 RETRO HISTORY OF JORDAN SPIZIKE 29cm basically has layers of tumbled and synthetic leather in the upper. The inner heel area is composed of neoprene, which is another direct lift from the design of the Air Jordan 11.
There is no question that the NIKE AIR JORDAN 6 RETRO HISTORY OF JORDAN SPIZIKE 29cm resembles the Air Jordans 10 and 11 so much. This resemblance gives it the look that has always been associated with the prominent Air Jordan line.
As far as branding is concerned, we noticed that the NIKE AIR JORDAN 6 RETRO HISTORY OF JORDAN SPIZIKE 29cm has a small Jumpman logo on the lateral side of the heel overlay. The Air Jordan 1 Mid Royal features a new take on one of the original and most popular a prominent “JORDAN” callout on top of the tongue.
Great sole unit? Check with The NIKE AIR JORDAN 6 RETRO HISTORY OF JORDAN SPIZIKE 29cm
We discerned that its sole unit is made from a standard foam midsole and a rubber outsole that contains a visible bottom-loaded Air unit in the heel.
We are impressed that the sole unit of The NIKE AIR JORDAN 6 RETRO HISTORY OF JORDAN SPIZIKE 29cm held up well in all weather conditions, and the rubber outsole seemed very durable. After some wear, we also found that the shoe remained intact.
Great combination of lightweight and comfort
Thanks to its padded heel and tongue and the patent leather, we have no complaints with this pair when it comes to comfort. Aside from an addition to its great look, it also adds nice protection on the court of muddy streets.
We also commend the pair's visible Max air unit which supplies lightweight impact cushioning and comfort on our heels.
