It has its own distinct personality. For $200, you're paying for the iconic design and heritage. If you want a modern performance basketball shoe, look elsewhere. This is a lifestyle and style piece first. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' in hand. First thing I notice? The build quality is solid, man. The nubuck feels premium right out of the box, and that iconic silhouette with the molded heel tab is just "chef's kiss". For $200 USD, the materials here are promising. Let's get these on feet. Who might want to skip it? If you're seeking cutting-edge comfort or performance for basketball, look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer minimal, low-profile sneakers, the "Nike Air Jordan 6"'s chunkier profile might not be your style. It's a specific look and feel that doesn't appeal to everyone, and that's okay. Now, potential cons? That firm ride might not be for everyone. If you're used to super bouncy, React or Boost-type cushioning, the Air unit here will feel stiff. Also, the toe box can feel a bit restrictive if you have wider feet. It's a performance fit from a different era.
