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. Who might want to skip it? If you need ultimate comfort or modern performance features, look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer low-top sneakers, the higher cut might not be your thing. And if you're on a tight budget, there are more affordable options. But for the right person, this shoe is special. Comparing it to, say, an "Air Jordan 1"? Totally different vibe. The AJ6 offers more coverage and a different kind of '90s cushioning. Versus an AJ11? The 6 is more structured and less sleek. It's its own thing within the "Jordan series". I appreciate the distinct personality of this model—it doesn't try to be anything else. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared'" in hand. First impression? The shape is iconic, man. The build quality feels solid, especially that molded heel tab. The black nubuck is clean, and the infrared hits just pop. For around $200 USD, the presentation is on point. It's a classic Jordan series release that looks even better in person than in pics.
