If you're into the 'Infrared' color story or just building a diverse Jordan collection, the Air Jordan 6 is a must. It's also good for someone who wants a sturdy, supportive sneaker for everyday wear with a statement look. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Jordan 6" is chunkier than a 1 or a 3, for sure. It's more structured. I'd say it's closer to a 4 or a 5 in terms of that rugged, '90s aesthetic. This 'Infrared' colorway is iconic, arguably top 3 in the entire Jordan series. It just has that vibe that newer retros sometimes lack. A real piece of history. Comparing it to, say, an Air Jordan 1? The AJ6 is a bulkier, more structured shoe. It offers more ankle support by design. Versus an AJ11, the cushioning is less plush. It's a different era of tech. This Nike Air Jordan 6 is for those who appreciate the original Tinker Hatfield blueprint. Sliding into these "Air Jordan 6s"... the fit is true to size for me. The initial feel is a bit stiff, which is totally normal for a retro. The ankle collar is padded and locks you in, no doubt. But let's be real – the cushioning isn't super plush by today's standards. It's firm. You're buying these for the look and the legacy, not for a cloud-like ride. That's just my honest take.
