The silhouette of the Air Jordan 6 is so distinctive with those molded panels and the lace locks. On camera or walking around, it's a statement piece. The 'Infrared' version, in particular, has that perfect color blocking that makes it a true grail for many sneakerheads. Comparing it to, say, an Air Jordan 1 or 4, the Air Jordan 6 is noticeably more of a "tank." It's structured and has more of a protective feel. The toe box isn't as narrow as some earlier Js, which is a plus for wider feet. It's a different kind of comfort—more about support than sink-in softness. Here's a major pro: the durability. The materials on this 'Infrared' colorway feel like they'll last. The nubuck is tough, and the overall construction is robust. It's a shoe you can wear regularly without babying it too much. That's a huge plus for anyone looking for a sneaker that can handle more than just shelf life. So, is it worth the $200 USD? For me, yes—if you're buying for the style, history, and that iconic look. The "Air Jordan 6 'Infrared'" is a cornerstone of the Jordan series. You're paying for a legend. Just go in knowing the comfort is classic, not cutting-edge.
