Also, if you need a performance basketball shoe—this is a lifestyle retro. For $200, you're buying into the legacy, not a tech marvel. Let's talk looks. Wearing these Air Jordan Retro 6 sneakers out, they have a bulky, aggressive silhouette that I love. The design details, like the perforated tongue and the heel tab, really stand out. On camera or in person, this 'Infrared' version is just a head-turner. It's a statement piece for any sneaker rotation. On feet, the design "really" shines. The perforations, the sculpted midsole... it's a bulky shoe, but in a good, powerful way. In natural light, that Infrared hits different. Compared to, say, a "Jordan 1", the "6" is way more structured and has a totally different vibe on foot. Who should maybe skip it? If you're seeking a all-day, walking-on-clouds sneaker, this isn't it. Also, if you prefer low-top silhouettes, the high-cut collar here might bother you. For performance basketball? Absolutely not. It's purely a lifestyle shoe now.
