Performance basketball players, obviously, should avoid. And if you're on a tight budget, waiting for a sale on this $200 USD shoe isn't a bad idea. It's an investment in style, not necessarily in groundbreaking comfort. Comparing it to, say, a Jordan 1? The "Jordan 6" is generally more comfortable for longer periods because of that Air unit. Versus a Jordan 11? It's less performance-oriented and more of a lifestyle piece now. Within the Jordan series, the 6 sits in a nice spot—recognizable, wearable, and with a distinct 90s vibe that's hard to beat. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 6 in the 'Infrared' colorway. First impression out of the box? The build quality is solid, man. The nubuck feels premium, and that iconic silhouette is just "chef's kiss". For around $200 USD, you're getting a classic piece of the Jordan series. The shape is perfect right out of the box, no weird creasing or anything. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 is noticeably more structured than a Jordan 1. It's also heavier than a Jordan 11. The fit is more forgiving than a Jordan 3 for wider feet, in my opinion. It sits nicely between a retro basketball feel and something you can actually wear all day.
