It's a comfortable, well-made retro with iconic style. The pros – like the ankle support and design – outweigh the minor cons like the weight for me. It's a solid addition to any sneaker rotation focused on classics. Now, potential cons. The cushioning might feel too firm for some, especially if you're used to React or Boost. It's not a "performance" shoe by today's standards. Also, the fit can be narrow in the midfoot. If you have wide feet, you might need to go up half a size. It's not for everyone seeking modern comfort tech. Comparing it to other Jordans... the Air Jordan 6 sits differently than a Jordan 3 or 4. It's less bulky than a Jordan 5 but has more structure than a Jordan 1. The cushioning setup is similar to other retros of its era—functional but not modern. If you love the 90s aesthetic, this is a cornerstone model in the Jordan series. So, is it worth the $200 USD? For me, yes—if you're buying for the style, history, and that iconic look. The "Air Jordan 6 'Infrared'" is a cornerstone of the Jordan series. You're paying for a legend. Just go in knowing the comfort is classic, not cutting-edge.
