Also, if you prefer low-top or minimalist sneakers, the 6's bulk might not be your style. For a $200 USD purchase, you really gotta love the design of this specific Jordan series entry. Final verdict? For me, the Air Jordan Retro 6 'Infrared' is a definite cop. It's a legendary shoe in a legendary color. The pros – the iconic look, solid materials, and heritage – far outweigh the cons of the snug fit and retro cushioning. If you can find them for retail or a good price, around $200 USD, they're absolutely worth adding to the rotation. Comparing it to, say, an AJ1 or an AJ4? The Jordan Retro 6 sits differently. It's bulkier than a 1 but has more defined lines than a 4. The comfort profile is unique to the 6s—it's more about lockdown and support than sheer cushion. If you're used to the minimal feel of a 1, the 6 will feel more substantial and protective, which can be a good thing. Alright, so I just got the Air Jordan Retro 6 in the 'Infrared' colorway. First impression? The box is classic, and the shoe itself... the nubuck feels pretty decent for a retro. That iconic silhouette is just "chef's kiss". For around $200 USD, you're getting a piece of Jordan history right out of the gate. Let's get these on feet.
