Performance basketball players should obviously get modern kicks. Also, if you're on a tight budget and $200 USD is a stretch, there are more tech-forward options at that price point for pure comfort. Putting these "Air Jordan 6s" on... the fit is snug, in a good way. The inner sleeve hugs your foot. Cushioning? It's firm, not super plush like modern shoes, but you definitely feel that Air unit in the heel. They're not heavy, but you know you're wearing a substantial sneaker. It's a very '90s basketball feel. On foot, the design really shines. The sculpted panels and that perforated tongue are just timeless. In natural light, the mix of black nubuck and Infrared hits differently—it's bold but not overly flashy. For a sneaker from this Jordan series, the Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' has a presence that works both on-court and in casual fits. My final verdict? I'm really feeling this Air Jordan 6 'Infrared'. It's a legend. For the right person, it's absolutely worth it. You're buying an icon. Just go in with realistic expectations about the fit and feel. Don't expect Boost or React. Expect a piece of history that looks incredible on foot. That's my genuine take.
