These aren't heavy, but they're not feather-light either. If you're used to ultra-boost type shoes, you'll feel the difference. Also, that padded tongue and collar can feel a bit warm in summer. It's a trade-off for that iconic look and ankle comfort. Comparing it to, say, a Jordan 1? The AJ6 is more of a performance build from that era. It's got more tech than an AJ1, for sure. Versus an AJ11? The 6 is less sleek, more rugged. In the Jordan series, this one stands out for its unique toe and that distinctive heel spoiler. It's a statement piece. Comparing it to other "Jordans"... the "6" is more structured than a "Jordan 1". Cushioning is better than a "1" but less than a "Jordan 11" or "13". It's a great middle ground. If you like the chunkier "Jordan 4" or "5", you'll vibe with this silhouette. It's part of that iconic "Jordan series" DNA for sure. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 6 in the 'Infrared' colorway. First thing I notice? The build quality is solid, man. The nubuck feels premium right out of the box, and that iconic silhouette is just "chef's kiss". The price point is around $200 USD, which is pretty standard for a Jordan retro. Let's get these on feet.
