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. On feet, the design of this Air Jordan 6 really stands out. The perforated tongue and those molded heel tabs are such distinctive details. In natural light, the 'Infrared' colorway looks even better than in promo pics. It's a shoe that gets compliments, for sure. Compared to, say, a Jordan 1, it's a bulkier, more 90s performance look, which I'm totally into. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Jordan 6" is less bulky than a 4 or 5, but it's not as streamlined as a 1 or 3. 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. Now, a potential con: the comfort tech is dated. If you're used to Zoom Air or React foam, the Air-Sole unit in this Jordan 6 might feel a bit basic and firm underfoot. It's not uncomfortable by any means, but it's not a cloud-like experience. It's about that classic feel, not modern performance innovation.
