The Air Jordan 6 isn't uncomfortable, but it's not its main selling point. Also, if you prefer low-top sneakers, the higher cut here might not be your thing. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' in hand. First thing I notice? The build quality is solid. The nubuck feels premium, and that iconic silhouette is just "chef's kiss". The color-blocking with that pop of Infrared is even better in person. For $200 USD, the materials feel right. Definitely a strong start for this Jordan series release. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 is more of a tank than a Jordan 3 or 5. It's less about sleek curves and more about structured, geometric panels. The cushioning setup is similar to the 5, but the 6's ankle feel is more restrictive—in a protective way. If you have wider feet, you might prefer the roomier toebox of the 6 over some earlier models. Who should maybe skip it? If you're solely chasing the most advanced, pillowy-soft comfort tech, look at newer models. Also, if you prefer super lightweight shoes, the "Jordan 6" has some heft to it—it's not heavy, but you feel its presence. Performance ballers might want more modern tools, too.
