I went true to size, and the "Nike Air Jordan 6" feels... secure. The inner sleeve and those molded panels give a good, locked-in feel around the midfoot. It's not the most plush thing ever, but it's comfortable right out of the box. The ankle collar is high, which I like for support. Overall, a pretty good first impression on foot. 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. That iconic silhouette, with the visible Air unit and the plastic lace locks, it's just a classic. For around $200 USD, this Jordan 6 release feels worth it so far. Let's get these on feet. So, is it worth the $200 USD price tag? For this specific 'Infrared' colorway of the Air Jordan 6, absolutely. It's one of the most important colorways in the entire Jordan series. You're getting a legend. My advice? Try it on if you can, but for most, it's a cornerstone sneaker for any rotation. Sliding into these "Air Jordan 6s"... the fit is true to size for me. The initial feel is a bit stiff, which is totally normal for a retro. The ankle collar is padded and locks you in, no doubt. But let's be real – the cushioning isn't super plush by today's standards. It's firm. You're buying these for the look and the legacy, not for a cloud-like ride. That's just my honest take.
