The cushioning might feel a bit dated if you're used to React or Zoom Air. It's not a "performance" shoe by today's standards. Also, that padded tongue and collar can feel warm in hotter weather. It's a chunky shoe, so if you prefer low-profile silhouettes, this might not be for you. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' in hand. First impression? The build quality is solid, the shape is classic, and that black nubuck with the vibrant infrared hits? It's iconic, man. Unboxing the Air Jordan 6 always feels special. The materials here feel premium for a $200 USD retro. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The "Air Jordan 6" has a snug, secure lockdown around the ankle, which I really like. The cushioning isn't super plush by today's standards, but that Air-Sole unit in the heel gives you a nice, firm comfort. It's a supportive feel, not a pillow. Comparing it to my other Jordans... the "6" is more substantial than a 1, more streamlined than a 4 or 5. It occupies its own space. The price, around $200 USD, is pretty standard for a retro these days. You get what you pay for: a well-made, classic silhouette. It doesn't have the hype of some others, but sometimes that's a good thing.
