But that substantial feel adds to the premium impression. Visually, the design is so clean and graphic. Compared to, say, an Air Jordan 1, the Jordan 6 has a more technical, structured look that really stands out in person and on foot. Comparing it to my other Jordans... the "6" is more substantial than a 1, more streamlined than a 4 or 5. It occupies its own space. The price, around $200 USD, is pretty standard for a retro these days. You get what you pay for: a well-made, classic silhouette. It doesn't have the hype of some others, but sometimes that's a good thing. Who is this for? Honestly, it's for the Jordan collector, the fan of the OG designs. If you love the 'Infrared' story or just want a durable, head-turning sneaker in your rotation, this Nike Air Jordan 6 is a great pick. It's a cornerstone of the Jordan series. 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.
