The materials on this Nike Air Jordan 6 are tough. That nubuck upper should hold up great. The lockdown from the lace system is excellent—your foot isn't going anywhere. For a retro, it's built well. The iconic look is, of course, the biggest advantage here. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 sits higher off the ground than a Jordan 1, for sure. It's more of a mid-top feel. Cushioning is different too - less board-like than a 1, but also not as soft as something like a Jordan 13. It's its own thing. If you like that late 80s/early 90s basketball shoe aesthetic, this is a prime example. Who should maybe skip it? If you need maximum breathability or ultra-plush comfort, look at newer models. The Nike Air Jordan 6 isn't a modern runner. Also, if you prefer low-top sneakers, the high-cut collar here might not be your thing. It's about style over cutting-edge comfort tech. 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.
