My true size felt a bit roomy in the toebox. I'd recommend going down half a size if you like a snug fit, especially for performance. The Nike Air Jordan 6 can feel a little clunky if it's too loose. Also, that padded tongue and collar, while supportive, can be warm. Not the best choice for super hot summer days, honestly. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultra-soft, cloud-like comfort above all else, you might be disappointed. Also, if you have a wider foot, the fit could be an issue. And for pure performance basketball? There are better modern options. It's a lifestyle/retro icon first. My final take? The Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' is a must-have for any serious sneaker rotation. At $200, it's a fair price for the quality and heritage you're getting. It's not the plushest shoe, but its style, support, and durability are top-tier. I'm really glad I added these to the collection. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 sits higher off the ground than a Jordan 1, for sure. It's more of a mid-top feel. Cushioning is different too - less board-like than a 1, but also not as soft as something like a Jordan 13. It's its own thing. If you like that late 80s/early 90s basketball shoe aesthetic, this is a prime example.
