It has its own distinct personality. For $200, you're paying for the iconic design and heritage. If you want a modern performance basketball shoe, look elsewhere. This is a lifestyle and style piece first. On foot, the silhouette of the Air Jordan 6 is just iconic. The way the midsole curves and that heel tab... it's a timeless look. The 'Infrared' hits really stand out in natural light. For photography or video, this shoe just works. It's a statement piece that doesn't need crazy colors to get attention. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize maximum comfort and a pillowy step above all else, look at newer tech. Also, if you have very wide feet, definitely try before you buy. This isn't the most forgiving fit. It's a specific feel that not every foot will love. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared'" in hand. First impression? The shape is "super" clean, and that black nubuck feels premium right out of the box. The iconic "Infrared" hits on the midsole? They pop even more in person. For a $200 USD shoe, the initial quality check seems solid. No major flaws on my pair.
