Durability is another plus; the outsole is thick and the upper is tough. That ankle support is great if you like a secure feel. For $200 USD, you're getting a piece of sneaker history with solid construction. It's a staple for any collection. Let's talk about the look. This 'Infrared' color pops on camera and in person. The contrast between the black nubuck and that vibrant red is timeless. Wearing these, you get that classic 90s basketball vibe. Compared to, say, an Air Jordan 1, the 6 has a much bulkier, more aggressive profile. It's a statement piece for sure. 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 my other Jordans... the "6" is more substantial than a 1, more streamlined than a 4 or 5. It occupies its own space. The price, around $200 USD, is pretty standard for a retro these days. You get what you pay for: a well-made, classic silhouette. It doesn't have the hype of some others, but sometimes that's a good thing.
