This 'Infrared' color pops on camera and in person. The contrast between the black nubuck and that vibrant red is timeless. Wearing these, you get that classic 90s basketball vibe. Compared to, say, an Air Jordan 1, the 6 has a much bulkier, more aggressive profile. It's a statement piece for sure. My final take? The "Air Jordan 6 'Infrared'" is a definitive win. It's a perfectly executed retro of a legendary model. At $200 USD, it's priced fairly for what you get. The looks, the history, the solid construction—it all adds up. This is a sneaker that earns its place in any rotation. Now, a potential con? The ventilation, or lack thereof. My feet got a bit warm after a while. It's not a breathable shoe. Also, that stiff outsole needs a short break-in period. If you want a super-soft, modern sneaker feel, the Nike Air Jordan 6 might feel a bit 'old-school' to you. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Jordan 6" sits differently than, say, a "Jordan 1". It's more of a mid-top, bulky basketball silhouette from the '90s. Versus a "Jordan 11", the 6 is less about sleekness and more about that rugged, defined look. I think the 6 has its own unique charm in the "Jordan series" that hasn't been overdone.
