The inner sleeve provides a snug, comfortable lockdown around your ankle, which I really appreciate. They're not the lightest Retro out there, but the weight feels solid, not clunky. The Air Jordan Retro 6 has a distinct, supportive feel right out of the box. Now, a potential con: the comfort tech is dated. Don't expect Zoom Air or React foam here. It's a firm, classic ride. Also, the toe box can feel a bit narrow for some foot shapes. If you're used to ultra-plush, modern sneakers, the Air Jordan Retro 6 might feel stiff at first. It's a break-in period kind of shoe. Final verdict? For me, the Air Jordan Retro 6 'Infrared' is a definite cop. It's a legendary shoe in a legendary color. The pros – the iconic look, solid materials, and heritage – far outweigh the cons of the snug fit and retro cushioning. If you can find them for retail or a good price, around $200 USD, they're absolutely worth adding to the rotation. Comparing it to, say, a Retro 3? The AJ6 is heavier and more structured. The 3 might be more comfortable for all-day wear. But for pure style and that '90s vibe, this Retro 6 holds its own. It's a different kind of beast in the Jordan series lineup.
