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. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, look at newer models. Performance basketball players, obviously, should avoid. And if you're on a tight budget, waiting for a sale on this $200 USD shoe isn't a bad idea. It's an investment in style, not necessarily in groundbreaking comfort. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 sits higher than a 1 or 4, offering more leg coverage. The cushioning is firmer than an Air Jordan 11 or 13. It's less about court performance now and more about style and that retro basketball aesthetic. Each model in the Jordan series has its own character. Who is this for? Honestly, for collectors and fans of the Jordan series. If you love the OG colorways and the history, the Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' is a must-have. It's also great for casual wearers who want a statement sneaker that's built to last. You're paying for heritage and style over cutting-edge tech.
