The materials on this 'Infrared' Air Jordan 6 are great. Nubuck is soft, the construction feels durable. The history and look are undeniable - it's a piece of sneaker culture. For me, the comfort is good for all-day wear, and that padded tongue is a nice touch you don't see as much anymore. Now, potential cons. The Air Jordan 6 can feel a bit clunky. If you're used to ultra-light, responsive shoes, this isn't it. The traction pattern is simple and might not be the best for serious ball these days. Also, that price point - $200 USD is steep for a retro that hasn't changed much tech-wise since '91. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' in hand. First thing I notice? The build quality is solid. The nubuck feels premium, and that iconic silhouette is just "chef's kiss". The color-blocking with that pop of Infrared is even better in person. For $200 USD, the materials feel right. Definitely a strong start for this Jordan series release. Putting these "Air Jordan 6s" on... the fit is snug. Like, really secure around the ankle, which I love for support. The cushioning? It's firm, not super plush like modern shoes, but you definitely feel that Air unit. They're not heavy, but you know you're wearing a substantial sneaker. It's that classic, protective feel.
