Sliding into these "Air Jordan 6s"... the fit is snug, true to size for me. The cushioning isn't super plush like a modern runner, but you definitely feel that Air unit in the heel. It's a supportive, stable feel—great for casual wear. For $200 USD, you're paying for the legacy and style as much as the tech. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' in hand. First thing I notice? The build quality is solid, man. The nubuck feels premium right out of the box, and that iconic silhouette with the molded heel tab is just "chef's kiss". For $200 USD, the materials here are promising. Let's get these on feet. Comparing it to other "Jordan" models? The "6" is noticeably more structured than a "Jordan 1". It's also heavier and has a different kind of lockdown. Versus a "Jordan 11", the cushioning is less bouncy, more about impact protection. It occupies its own space in the "Jordan series" - it's a mid-90s basketball shoe through and through. On foot now, and the fit is true to size for me. The Air Jordan 6 has a snug, secure lockdown, especially around the ankle collar. It's not the lightest shoe, you can feel that weight, but it's not clunky either. The cushioning? It's firm but comfortable - classic Air. Don't expect super plush, modern foam, it's more about that stable, supportive ride.
