This particular Air Jordan 6 uses a really nice grade of nubuck. It's soft, doesn't feel cheap, and should age beautifully with some wear. The toe cap overlay is also great for durability—scuffs won't show as easily. For a retro release, Nike did a good job here. It feels like a proper premium product from the Jordan series. Now, the potential cons. That firm cushioning I mentioned? If you're used to modern, super soft setups like React or Boost, the Air Jordan 6 might feel a bit stiff underfoot initially. It breaks in, but it's not a "cloud" experience. Also, the toe box can feel narrow for some. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultimate comfort above all else, look at newer models. The Air Jordan 6 cushioning is dated. Also, if you have very narrow feet, the fit might feel a bit roomy in the toe box. It's not the most performance-oriented retro out there. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' in hand. First off, the box is classic, and the shoe's silhouette is instantly recognizable. The black nubuck feels premium, and that Infrared hit? It pops. For around $200 USD, the initial quality here seems solid. This is a legendary Jordan series model, no doubt.
