If you value design history and durable construction in your sneakers, the Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' at $200 is a must-have. 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. Big pro? The durability. The nubuck upper on this 'Infrared' colorway is tough and should hold up well. The overall construction of this Air Jordan 6 feels like it can take a beating, which is great for casual wear. It's a well-made retro, no question. Let's get these on feet. Initial step-in is comfortable. The Air-Sole unit provides decent cushioning right away. The fit is snug, true to size for me. The padded collar? It locks your ankle in nicely. Honestly, the Nike Air Jordan 6 isn't the "lightest" shoe, but it doesn't feel bulky either. It's a good, supportive feel for casual wear or light ball.
