Nike air jordan 6 : On foot, the design just works [pp16crfb]

The silhouette is bulky in a good way—it's a statement. In different lighting, that nubuck shows nice texture, and the Infrared really stands out on camera. Compared to, say, an "Air Jordan 1", this has way more tech and structure. It's a different vibe entirely from the Jordan series. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize ultra-soft, modern cushioning above all else, look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer low-top or minimalist sneakers, the AJ6's high-top, bulky design might feel too much. It's a specific style from a specific era of the "Jordan series". Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 sits differently than, say, a Jordan 1 or a Jordan 4. It's a bit bulkier in profile, but in a good, athletic way. The 6 has more of a 90s basketball shoe feel compared to the sleekness of a Jordan 11. It's a distinct look within the Jordan series that has its own massive fanbase. So, should you cop? If you've always wanted an Air Jordan 6, this 'Infrared' is arguably the one to get. It's the definitive colorway. For $200 USD, you're getting a piece of iconic design. Just go in knowing what to expect: amazing style, good quality, but a classic, firm feel. For me, it's a yes.
