The 'Infrared' hits on the midsole and lace lock are so vibrant in person. The high-cut design makes your legs look good. Compared to, say, an Air Jordan 1, the AJ6 has way more of a 90s basketball profile. It's a statement piece for sure, not a low-key sneaker. Comparing it to, say, a Jordan 1? The Jordan 6 is a bulkier, more structured shoe. Versus a Jordan 11, it's less about sleekness and more about that rugged, '90s basketball aesthetic. The toe guard and those plastic lace locks are unique to this model. It's a different vibe in the Jordan series, for sure. Here's a major pro: the durability. The materials on this 'Infrared' colorway feel like they'll last. The nubuck is tough, and the overall construction is robust. It's a shoe you can wear regularly without babying it too much. That's a huge plus for anyone looking for a sneaker that can handle more than just shelf life. So, is it worth the $200 USD price tag? For this specific 'Infrared' colorway of the Air Jordan 6, absolutely. It's one of the most important colorways in the entire Jordan series. You're getting a legend. My advice? Try it on if you can, but for most, it's a cornerstone sneaker for any rotation.
