It does what it's supposed to: delivers a faithful retro of a classic. The pros (style, build, history) outweigh the cons (break-in, weight) for most sneakerheads. Would I recommend it? Yeah, especially for your first pair of 6s. Now, potential cons... The toe box can feel a bit rigid initially. It needs a break-in period. Also, if you're used to ultra-soft, react-like cushioning, the "Air Jordan 6" might feel too firm. The price, at $200 USD, is standard for Retros, but it's still an investment. Not everyone will love the higher collar around the ankle. Let's talk pros. The "Nike Air Jordan 6" has amazing ankle support—locked in. The materials on this 'Infrared' version are top-notch; the nubuck is soft and should age well. Durability seems great. And of course, the style is legendary. It's a piece of sneaker history you can wear. 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.
