The Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' is a legend. You're paying for the heritage, the iconic look, and a solidly built shoe. It's not trying to be something it's not. It's a classic, through and through. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' in hand. First thing I notice? The build quality is solid. The nubuck feels premium, and that iconic silhouette is just "chef's kiss". The color-blocking with that pop of Infrared is even better in person. For $200 USD, the materials feel right. Definitely a strong start for this Jordan series release. 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. Now, a potential con? The toe box can feel a bit rigid for some people. It might need a short break-in period. Also, if you're used to modern, ultra-soft foam like ZoomX, the ride of the "Air Jordan 6" will feel firmer and more old-school. Just being real.
