The materials on this Nike Air Jordan 6 are tough. That nubuck upper should hold up great. The lockdown from the lace system is excellent—your foot isn't going anywhere. For a retro, it's built well. The iconic look is, of course, the biggest advantage here. 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. On feet, the design of this Air Jordan 6 really stands out. The perforated tongue and those molded heel tabs are such distinctive details. In natural light, the 'Infrared' colorway looks even better than in promo pics. It's a shoe that gets compliments, for sure. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1, it's a bulkier, more 90s performance look, which I'm totally into. Let's talk pros. The biggest advantage of this shoe is its iconic style. It's a head-turner. The materials on this specific release are good for the price point. Durability seems on point, and it's a comfortable all-day wear once broken in. Also, that history – you're wearing a piece of MJ's first championship win. That's the main appeal of this "Jordan series" model.
