It's more structured. I'd say it's closer to a 4 or a 5 in terms of that rugged, '90s aesthetic. This 'Infrared' colorway is iconic, arguably top 3 in the entire Jordan series. It just has that vibe that newer retros sometimes lack. A real piece of history. Comparing it to, say, a "Jordan 1"? It's a totally different animal. The "AJ6" is more of a mid-top, structured basketball shoe from that era. It's not as minimalist as a 1, and it feels more substantial on foot. If you love 90s basketball aesthetics, this is your jam. Major pros? The style is unbeatable. This "Nike Air Jordan 6" is a straight-up legend. Durability seems great with the materials. It's also versatile; you can rock these with jeans, shorts, whatever. For $200 USD, you're getting a piece of sneaker culture. If you're into the history and the look, it's an easy win. No complicated story here. Who should maybe skip it? If you need all-day, walk-everywhere comfort, look at newer models. People with very wide feet might find the fit tight. Also, if you prefer a low-top or minimalist look, the Jordan 6's chunky profile isn't that. Know what you're buying into.
