If you're used to modern, super-soft foam, the firmer ride of the Air Jordan 6 could be a letdown. Also, some colorways can be tricky to style compared to more versatile models. It's a very "specific" look. Comparing it to other "Jordan" models? The "6" is noticeably more structured than a "Jordan 1". It's also heavier and has a different kind of lockdown. Versus a "Jordan 11", the cushioning is less bouncy, more about impact protection. It occupies its own space in the "Jordan series" - it's a mid-90s basketball shoe through and through. Alright, so I just got my hands on the Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' in hand, and the first thing I notice is that iconic silhouette. The build quality feels solid, you know? The nubuck is nice and soft, and that Infrared hit just pops. It's a classic for a reason. Unboxing this pair, priced around $200 USD, definitely brings back memories. The shape is just so recognizable. On feet, the silhouette is just timeless. The "Air Jordan 6" design, with the clean lines and that molded heel tab, looks great from every angle. The Infrared colorway is a legend for a reason—it stands out but isn't overly loud. On camera or walking around, these just have that undeniable presence. A true sneakerhead staple.
