That padded collar can feel stiff and might rub at first. The cushioning is firm—if you want a super bouncy, modern ride, look elsewhere. Also, the price—$200 USD is steep for a retro. Some might find the fit a bit narrow, so maybe size up half. Let's talk on-foot feel. Sliding into these "Air Jordan 6s"... the fit is snug, true to size for me. The cushioning isn't super plush like a modern runner, but you definitely feel that Air unit in the heel. It's a supportive, stable feel—great for casual wear. For $200 USD, you're paying for the legacy and style as much as the tech. On foot, the design really shines. The Infrared hits catch the light perfectly. The perforations on the toe box add nice texture. From a side profile, the midsole sculpting is so distinctive. This 'Infrared' colorway is just a classic. It looks great with jeans or shorts. The Nike Air Jordan 6 always has serious presence on camera and in real life. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultra-soft, modern cushioning above all else, look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer low-top or minimalist sneakers, the AJ6's high-top, bulky design might feel too much. It's a specific style from a specific era of the "Jordan series".
