First impression? The box is classic, and the shoe's silhouette is instantly recognizable. The nubuck feels pretty decent right out of the box, and that Infrared pop is just iconic. It's a strong, clean start for this Jordan series release, which retails for around $200 USD. 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. Who might want to skip it? If you're seeking cutting-edge, cloud-like comfort or a performance basketball shoe, look at newer models. The "Nike Air Jordan 6" is a lifestyle retro first. Also, if you have very wide feet, the fit might be snug. And if you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable daily beaters out there. Who is this for? Honestly, if you're a fan of the OG Jordan series aesthetics from the '90s, you'll love this. The Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' is a must-have for collectors and anyone who values that era's design language. It's also great for casual wear where you want solid ankle support and a bold look. At $200, it's an investment in a piece of history.
