If you're used to modern, bouncy cushioning, the firm ride of this "Air Jordan 6" might disappoint you. Also, that padded tongue and collar can feel a bit bulky to some people. It's part of the design, but it's not the most streamlined fit. Just something to keep in mind. Let's talk pros. The "Nike Air Jordan 6" has amazing ankle support—locked in. The materials on this 'Infrared' version are top-notch; the nubuck is soft and should age well. Durability seems great. And of course, the style is legendary. It's a piece of sneaker history you can wear. Who should maybe skip it? If you're solely chasing the most comfortable, cloud-like foot feel, look at newer models. Performance basketball players should obviously get modern kicks. Also, if you're on a tight budget and $200 USD is a stretch, there are more tech-forward options at that price point for pure comfort. On foot, the design really shines. The "Nike Air Jordan 6" has a bulky, muscular look that I personally love. The infrared accents on the midsole and lace lock are subtle but fire. In natural light, the different textures – nubuck, rubber, plastic – create a cool, detailed aesthetic. It's a shoe that looks better on foot than in the box, which is always a plus.
