The materials can take a beating. The style is iconic and versatile—you can wear these with jeans or shorts easily. Also, that lockdown from the lace locks is legit. For a retro basketball shoe, it provides a secure, stable feel that I really like for casual wear. On foot now, and the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning from the visible Air unit in the heel is decent—it's comfortable for casual wear, but don't expect modern, plush bounce. The ankle collar provides good support, though. The Air Jordan Retro 6 has a distinct, bulky silhouette that I personally love. Comparing it to, say, a Retro 3 or 4? The AJ6 has a more structured, almost armored feel. It's less bulky than an 8 but more substantial than a 5. That unique lace lock system and the perforated tongue are details you don't see elsewhere in the Jordan series. It stands out in the lineup. Worth the $200 USD? If this is one of your grail colorways, absolutely. The Air Jordan Retro 6 'Infrared' is a legend. Just go in knowing what you're getting: an iconic, well-built retro with classic, not modern, comfort. For me, it's a yes.
