Verdict

The Jordan Why Not .6 is a solid performer — a performance low-top scoring 84/100 in SoleHunt's data-driven evaluation, drawing on 0 consumer reviews and 0 independent expert tests. Tipping the scales at 390g, it is on the heavier side for a performance low-top. The 28mm heel stack — a moderate stack — delivers a medium-firm ride at 32 HC, returning 66% of impact energy and feeling responsive and lively underfoot. Geometrically, the Why Not .6 runs on a near-zero 0mm drop built for natural gait and forefoot-first runners, with a 28mm forefoot stack that creates a naturally ground-hugging feel. Fit-wise, the toebox measures 106mm — extra-wide, suited to broad or bunion-prone feet — and the upper comes in a standard width. True to size. Built for explosive play. The removable insole makes it compatible with custom orthotics. It is designed for athletic guards, explosive play, indoor courts, point guards, and performs less well for wide feet or centers.
