All across the web, the sneaker selling like hotcakes these days is the Jordan AJF 6. Not only are sneaker outlets overstocked, they also sell out fast too! Here is why the cycle keeps turning.

The Beef

Judging clearly from the new sneakers coming through the market, the once classic old school styling trend of yesterday has been swayed towards less bulkier sneakers. New brands have emerged with a focus on providing slimmer kicks for the style and image-savvy consumer. The anticipation of Nike's AJF 6's release was widespread and long awaited. Now that the sneaker has been out for over a year, how does it measure up to the latest sneaker trend?

Style

The AJF 6 combines the Air Force 1 and the Air Jordan 6 into one chunky combo featuring two of Nike's hottest selling sneakers in one. These are chunky if you like the chunk, more chunky than either model alone. Yet Nike stays true to its traditional Air Force 1 lining and classic Air Jordan styling. So if you like bulky sneakers and remain true to the old school, the Nike's AJF has you as a loyal fan. These are for people who have already been won over by AF1s or Jordans. These are also for those who have remained true to Jordans since day one.

In the current day style department, they'd be nice if the bulk was left only slightly in the sole and toebox areas, and slightly slimmed all around. From all the wacky Jordans that have been released to date, this will go down in history on the favored list.

Comfort

Chunky can be comfortable, if you need the added support for the court. For casual wear, these can be slightly suffocating. That's a lot of leather and synthetic material strapped to a foot. Don't ever think about buying knock-off AFIs or even Jordans either. Fake leather will stink up your feet. If you're buying these for your sport, go ahead. If you are buying these for the club or the streets, plan to keep them on for a limited time only.

Conclusion

The Jordan name will always sell now that it has grown into legend. No matter what Nike tosses from their court with the Jordan name, fans are already lined up before the shoe hits the racks! In third world countries, when you say "Nike", they say "Jordan". Infamous. You buy the label.
