The nubuck is soft and should age nicely. I also appreciate the durability; the reinforced toe cap and thick outsole mean these can handle daily wear. For a retro basketball shoe, the Air Jordan 6 offers a good blend of style and substance that's hard to beat in its price range. On foot, the design really shines. The clean lines, the perforated tongue, the molded heel tab – it's a timeless look. This 'Infrared' version, in particular, gets attention. The contrast between the black nubuck and that bright Infrared is just perfect for sneakerheads and casual fans alike. On foot now, and the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning from the Air unit is decent—it's not super plush like modern shoes, but it's comfortable for all-day wear. The ankle collar provides good support, and the overall weight feels solid, not too heavy. The Air Jordan Retro 6 has that classic, locked-in feel I remember. 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, man. The nubuck feels premium, and that Infrared pop is just iconic. For around $200 USD, the initial quality here feels solid. It's a classic Jordan silhouette that never gets old.
