The cushioning is firmer than, say, a Jordan 11 or 13. It's its own thing. If you like that late-80s/early-90s Tinker Hatfield design language, you'll dig this model from the Jordan series. Big pro for the Nike Air Jordan 6: durability. The materials are tough. That toe bumper? It'll save the shoe from creasing badly. The lockdown from the lace loops is excellent. For everyday wear or even light ball, these can take a beating. That's a major plus. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared'" in hand. First off, the box is classic. The shoe itself? The shape is iconic, and the black nubuck feels premium right out of the gate. That "Infrared" hit on the midsole? It just pops, man. For around $200 USD, the initial quality seems solid. Let's get these on foot. On feet, the silhouette just works. The higher cut gives good ankle "presence". The 'Infrared' colorway is versatile; it goes with a lot of fits. In different lighting, the nubuck texture and those reflective accents on the lace lock really stand out. It's a shoe that looks better in person than in pics, honestly.
