If you're used to Zoom Air or React foam, this will feel stiff. The toe box can be a bit roomy for some. And that iconic plastic lace locks? They can dig in if you lace super tight. It's not a performance beast by today's standards. Just keep that in mind. It's a lifestyle shoe first. Putting them on... the fit is snug, true to size. The padded collar is a standout feature—it really hugs your ankle, which I love for that locked-in feel. The Air-Sole unit? It's firm, not super plush like some modern sneakers, but you definitely feel the cushioning. It's a classic Jordan 6 sensation, supportive and stable for all-day wear. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' in hand. First impression? The shape is iconic, man. The build quality feels solid right out of the box. That nubuck is nice and the Infrared hits pop. For around $200 USD, the materials seem on point for a classic Jordan release. Wrapping up—this Air Jordan 6 release gets a thumbs up from me. It does what it's supposed to: delivers a faithful retro of a classic. The pros (style, build, history) outweigh the cons (break-in, weight) for most sneakerheads. Would I recommend it? Yeah, especially for your first pair of 6s.
