The higher cut gives good ankle "presence". The 'Infrared' colorway is versatile; it goes with a lot of fits. In different lighting, the nubuck texture and those reflective accents on the lace lock really stand out. It's a shoe that looks better in person than in pics, honestly. On feet, the design really pops. The 'Infrared' hits on the midsole and lace lock are so vibrant in person. The high-cut design makes your legs look good. Compared to, say, an Air Jordan 1, the AJ6 has way more of a 90s basketball profile. It's a statement piece for sure, not a low-key sneaker. Putting these Air Jordan 6s on for the first time... the fit is pretty true to size for me. The ankle collar is high, giving that locked-in feel, which I appreciate for basketball or just casual wear. They're not the lightest shoe in the Jordan series, but you can feel the support. The cushioning from the visible Air unit is decent—it's comfortable, but don't expect Boost-level softness, okay? On feet, the design of this Air Jordan 6 really stands out. The perforated tongue and those molded heel tabs are such distinctive details. In natural light, the 'Infrared' colorway looks even better than in promo pics. It's a shoe that gets compliments, for sure. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1, it's a bulkier, more 90s performance look, which I'm totally into.
