I went true to size, and the "Nike Air Jordan 6" feels... secure. The inner sleeve and those molded panels give a good, locked-in feel around the midfoot. It's not the most plush thing ever, but it's comfortable right out of the box. The ankle collar is high, which I like for support. Overall, a pretty good first impression on foot. Comparing it to, say, an Air Jordan 1 or 4, the Air Jordan 6 is noticeably more of a "tank." It's structured and has more of a protective feel. The toe box isn't as narrow as some earlier Js, which is a plus for wider feet. It's a different kind of comfort—more about support than sink-in softness. On feet, the silhouette just works. 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. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared'" in hand. First impression? The build quality is solid, honestly. The nubuck feels premium, and that iconic silhouette is just "chef's kiss". The black and infrared colorway pops perfectly in the box. For around $200 USD, this is a classic Jordan series drop that looks promising right out of the gate.
