The higher cut gives good ankle "presence". The 'Infrared' colorway is versatile; it goes with a lot of fits. In different lighting, the nubuck texture and those reflective accents on the lace lock really stand out. It's a shoe that looks better in person than in pics, honestly. 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. On feet, the design really shines. 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. Now, potential cons. The Air Jordan 6 can feel a bit clunky. If you're used to ultra-light, responsive shoes, this isn't it. The traction pattern is simple and might not be the best for serious ball these days. Also, that price point - $200 USD is steep for a retro that hasn't changed much tech-wise since '91.
