The cushioning is firmer than a Jordan 11 or 13, for sure. You get Air-Sole units, but it's more about court feel than plush comfort. It's a different era of basketball shoe tech, and that shows. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Jordan 6" is chunkier than a 1 or a 3, for sure. It's more structured. I'd say it's closer to a 4 or a 5 in terms of that rugged, '90s aesthetic. This 'Infrared' colorway is iconic, arguably top 3 in the entire Jordan series. It just has that vibe that newer retros sometimes lack. A real piece of history. Now, the cons... The outsole on the Air Jordan 6 is quite flat and can feel a bit slippery on very smooth surfaces initially. The toe box creasing is also pretty inevitable with that nubuck. If you want a super flexible, lightweight sneaker, this isn't it. It's a chunky retro. My final take? I'm really feeling this pickup. The Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' is a legend for a reason. The quality is there, the on-foot presence is undeniable. It's a comfortable, well-made retro. For the price? I think it's worth it, especially if you catch it on a slight sale.
