You can't go wrong with this 'Infrared' colorway. It's versatile and goes with so much. Another plus is the durability – the nubuck upper and rubber outsole can take a beating. For a retro basketball shoe, the Air Jordan Retro 6 offers decent impact protection for all-day wear. Wearing these out, the design really stands out. The perforated tongue and those molded heel tabs aren't just for looks—they add to the structure. On feet, the Air Jordan Retro 6 has a bulky, athletic profile that I personally love. It's a statement. Compared to a slimmer AJ1 or AJ11, this is a more aggressive, 90s basketball look that works great with jeans or joggers. Now, potential cons? The cushioning. If you're used to modern tech like Zoom Air or Boost, the "Air Jordan Retro 6" might feel a bit firm. It's not a "plush" ride. Also, that higher ankle collar can feel restrictive for some people. It's a specific fit and feel that not everyone will vibe with, just being real. Alright, so I just got the Air Jordan Retro 6 in the 'Infrared' colorway. First impression? The box is classic, and the shoe itself... the nubuck feels pretty decent for a retro. That iconic silhouette is just "chef's kiss". For around $200 USD, you're getting a piece of Jordan history right out of the gate. Let's get these on feet.
