Performance basketball players should obviously avoid these for hooping. If you prefer low-top or minimalist sneakers, the "Jordan 6's" bulky profile isn't for you. It's about style and heritage, not modern tech. Alright, so I just got my hands on the Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' in hand, and the first thing I notice is that iconic silhouette. The build quality feels solid, you know? The nubuck is nice and soft, and that Infrared hit just pops. It's a classic for a reason. Unboxing this pair, priced around $200 USD, definitely brings back memories. The shape is just so recognizable. On foot, the design just works. The silhouette is bulky in a good way—it's a statement. In different lighting, that nubuck shows nice texture, and the Infrared really stands out on camera. Compared to, say, an "Air Jordan 1", this has way more tech and structure. It's a different vibe entirely from the Jordan series. Now, the not-so-great part? The cushioning might feel a bit basic if you're used to modern, bouncy foams. It's a heavier shoe, so if you prioritize lightweight sneakers, the Air Jordan 6 might not be your first pick. The padded collar can also feel a bit stiff initially.
