It does what it's supposed to: delivers a faithful retro of a classic. The pros (style, build, history) outweigh the cons (break-in, weight) for most sneakerheads. Would I recommend it? Yeah, especially for your first pair of 6s. 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. That iconic silhouette is just "chef's kiss". The nubuck feels premium, and the infrared hits really pop. It's a classic for a reason, you know? Definitely a strong start with this Air Jordan 6. Comparing it to other Jordans? Well, it's not as bulky as a Jordan 4 or 5, but it's also not as streamlined as a Jordan 1. The Air Jordan 6 sits somewhere in between. It offers more tech and structure than a 1, but the overall comfort might not beat something like a Jordan 13, which is known for its plush setup. Putting these on... the fit is true to size for me. The "Nike Air Jordan 6" has a snug, secure feel around the ankle, which I really like. The cushioning? It's firm. You're not getting crazy Zoom or React here, it's that classic Air unit. It's comfortable for all-day wear, but don't expect a super plush, modern basketball shoe feel.
