This isn't a performance shoe by today's standards. Also, if you prefer low-top or super flexible sneakers, the Air Jordan Retro 6's structure and height might not be your thing. It's all about personal preference. Alright, let's get into these Air Jordan Retro 6 'Infrareds'. First impression out of the box? The build quality is solid, man. That nubuck feels premium, and the iconic silhouette just pops. The Infrared hits are "so" vibrant in person, way better than in pictures. For around $200 USD, this is a classic colorway done right. Comparing it to other Retros? The Air Jordan Retro 6 is more structured than a Retro 1 or 3. It offers more ankle support, for sure. The cushioning isn't as plush as something like a Retro 13, but it's firmer and more stable. It's a different kind of comfort, geared towards support. Is it worth the $200 price tag? For me, yes – if you love the model. The "Air Jordan Retro 6" 'Infrared' is a piece of history. The craftsmanship is there. But value is subjective. If you prioritize ultimate comfort or a light shoe, your money might be better spent elsewhere.
