It offers more ankle support and has a different kind of cushioning. Versus a "Jordan 11", it's less sleek but has its own rugged charm. Within the Jordan series, the 6 sits in that sweet spot between retro style and wearable comfort. It's a distinct silhouette. Let's talk about the on-foot feel. Slipping these Air Jordan 6s on, the fit is true to size for me. The ankle collar gives that classic, locked-in feel. It's not the most plush ride by today's standards—you can feel the Air unit, but it's firm. For $200 USD, you're paying for the legacy and look, not necessarily groundbreaking comfort. Just being real with you. Putting these "Air Jordan 6s" on... the fit is snug, in a good way. The inner sleeve hugs your foot. Cushioning? It's firm, not super plush like modern shoes, but you definitely feel that Air unit in the heel. They're not heavy, but you know you're wearing a substantial sneaker. It's a very '90s basketball feel. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' in hand. First impression? The shape is "super" clean, and the nubuck feels premium. The black and infrared colorway is a classic for a reason—it just pops. The build quality on this Air Jordan 6 feels solid right out of the box, no major flaws. Really happy with the initial look.
