The Nike Air Jordan 6 delivers on its promise. It's not perfect (no shoe is!), but its place in the Jordan series is cemented. A fantastic addition to the rotation, no doubt about it. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 6 in the 'Infrared' colorway. First impression? The box is classic, and the shoe itself has that iconic, bulky silhouette. The nubuck feels pretty decent right out of the box. For around $200 USD, the initial quality seems solid. Let's get these on foot. Comparing it to other Jordans, the 6 sits uniquely between the sleekness of the 5 and the bulk of the 7. It has its own distinct personality. For $200, you're paying for the iconic design and heritage. If you want a modern performance basketball shoe, look elsewhere. This is a lifestyle and style piece first. Sliding these on... the fit is true to size for me. The cushioning? It's firm, but in a good, supportive way - you're not getting Zoom Air cloud-like comfort, it's more about stability. The padded tongue and collar give a really secure, locked-down feel. The Nike Air Jordan 6 isn't the lightest shoe, but you feel that quality on foot.
