The cushioning is firmer than, say, a Jordan 11 or 13. It's its own thing. If you like that late-80s/early-90s Tinker Hatfield design language, you'll dig this model from the Jordan series. 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. So, who is this "Nike Air Jordan 6" for? It's perfect for the sneakerhead who appreciates the classics. It's for someone who wants a stylish, durable shoe with a rich history. It's also great if you like a supportive, secure fit rather than a super-soft one. Definitely a must for any "Jordan series" collector. So, who is this for? If you love the "Jordan series" heritage, this is a must-have. It's for collectors and casual wearers who appreciate a classic silhouette. The 'Infrared' is arguably the best colorway of the "Air Jordan 6". If you want a comfortable, stylish retro that gets compliments, you'll love these.
