Also, if you have very wide feet, the fit might be too snug. And if you're on a tight budget and need the most comfort-per-dollar, a newer GR model might serve you better. The $200 USD price is for the heritage, not cutting-edge specs. In summary: Great materials, iconic look, classic fit. Know what you're getting—a firm, supportive retro—and you'll love it. Would I recommend it? Yes, especially for this colorway. It's a legend for a reason. That's my real, honest review of the Air Jordan Retro 6. Alright, so I just got the "Air Jordan Retro 6" in the 'Infrared' colorway. First thing out of the box? The shape is "super" clean, and the quality feels solid. The nubuck is nice, and that Infrared pop is just iconic. Honestly, for around $200 USD, the initial impression is pretty strong. Let's get these on foot. Comparing these to other "Jordan" models, the "Retro 6" has a distinct feel. It's more structured and supportive than, say, a "Jordan 1", and the cushioning setup is different from a "Jordan 11" or "13". The 6 sits somewhere in between - offering good court-inspired support with decent everyday comfort. If you like a shoe with a defined, almost armored look, the "6" delivers that vibe better than some of the smoother earlier models.
