If you're used to modern, plush sneakers, the firm Air-Sole unit in the Nike Air Jordan 6 might feel too stiff. It breaks in, but it's not a "comfort-first" shoe by today's standards. That's just the reality of a 90s retro. On foot, the design really shines. The sculpted panels and that perforated tongue are just timeless. In natural light, the mix of black nubuck and Infrared hits differently—it's bold but not overly flashy. For a sneaker from this Jordan series, the Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' has a presence that works both on-court and in casual fits. Major pros? The style is unbeatable—it's a legend. Durability seems solid with the materials used. That heel Air unit, while simple, is reliable for all-day wear. For $200 USD, you're getting a piece of sneaker history with the Air Jordan 6 that's built to last. Now, potential cons. The toe box can feel a bit rigid initially—needs a short break-in. And if you have a wider foot, you might find it narrow. Also, at $200, it's purely a lifestyle shoe now. Don't ball in these expecting modern performance. It's about the look and the vibe, not cutting-edge tech.
