It's not trying to be the most comfortable or the lightest shoe. It's a style icon. If you appreciate the history and that classic 90s basketball design, you'll love it. Go true to size, wear them confidently, and enjoy a piece of the "Jordan series" legacy. For me, it's a definite recommend for collectors and fans. Now, the potential downsides. The cushioning might feel a bit dated if you're used to React or Zoom Air. It's not a "performance" shoe by today's standards. Also, that padded tongue and collar can feel warm in hotter weather. It's a chunky shoe, so if you prefer low-profile silhouettes, this might not be for you. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared'" in hand. First off, the box is classic Jordan Brand. The shoe itself? The silhouette is iconic, man. The build quality feels solid right out of the box—no glue stains or anything funky on my pair. That nubuck material on the upper has a nice, premium feel to it. For $200 USD, the initial impression is pretty strong, honestly. 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.
