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. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultra-soft, cloud-like comfort above all else, you might be disappointed. Also, if you have a wider foot, the fit could be an issue. And for pure performance basketball? There are better modern options. It's a lifestyle/retro icon first. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 is more of a tank than a Jordan 3 or 5. It's less about sleek curves and more about structured, geometric panels. The cushioning setup is similar to the 5, but the 6's ankle feel is more restrictive—in a protective way. If you have wider feet, you might prefer the roomier toebox of the 6 over some earlier models. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 6 in the 'Infrared' colorway. First impression? The box is classic, and the shoe itself has that iconic, bulky silhouette. The nubuck feels pretty decent right out of the box. For around $200 USD, the initial quality seems solid. Let's get these on foot.
