It's a faithful retro of a classic. The materials, the look - it's all there. My advice? If this specific model speaks to you, go for it. If you're unsure about the fit or style, maybe try a different Jordan series model first. That's my real, honest take. Comparing it to, say, an "Air Jordan 1"? Totally different vibe. The AJ6 offers more coverage and a different kind of '90s cushioning. Versus an AJ11? The 6 is more structured and less sleek. It's its own thing within the "Jordan series". I appreciate the distinct personality of this model—it doesn't try to be anything else. Comparing it to other Jordans, the 6 sits uniquely between the sleekness of the 5 and the bulk of the 7. 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. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 6 in the 'Infrared' colorway. First impression? The box is classic, and the shoe itself has that iconic, bulky silhouette. The nubuck feels pretty decent right out of the box. For around $200 USD, the initial quality seems solid. Let's get these on foot.
