For some people with wider feet, the front of the Air Jordan Retro 6 can feel a bit narrow and restrictive. It might require a slight break-in period. It's not a deal-breaker for me, but it's something to be aware of before you buy. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Retro 6 sits higher and feels more structured than a Retro 1 or 4. It's less sleek than an 11, but has more personality than some later models. If you like that substantial, protective feel from the era, this Air Jordan Retro 6 delivers. It's a distinct piece of the Jordan series lineage. Let's talk about a potential downside: breathability. The upper on the Air Jordan Retro 6 is mostly synthetic and doesn't breathe the best. For all-day wear in summer, your feet might get warm. Also, the outsole traction on dusty indoor floors can be just average. It's a style-first shoe, remember. Major pros? Timeless design, incredible colorway history, and great ankle support. The materials on this 2024 version are done well. It's a shoe built for looks "and" for lasting. If you're into sneaker history, the Air Jordan Retro 6 'Infrared' is a chapter you gotta own. It's a staple.
