Sliding into these "Air Jordan 6s"... the fit is snug, true to size for me. The cushioning isn't super plush like a modern runner, but you definitely feel that Air unit in the heel. It's a supportive, stable feel—great for casual wear. For $200 USD, you're paying for the legacy and style as much as the tech. Now, the cons... The outsole on the Air Jordan 6 is quite flat and can feel a bit slippery on very smooth surfaces initially. The toe box creasing is also pretty inevitable with that nubuck. If you want a super flexible, lightweight sneaker, this isn't it. It's a chunky retro. Alright, so I just got the Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' in hand, and my first impression? The shape is iconic. The build quality feels solid right out of the box—no glue stains or anything funky. That nubuck upper has a nice, premium texture to it. Honestly, for a retro, this $200 price tag feels pretty standard these days, but you're paying for that classic Jordan series silhouette. Let's talk about the look. This 'Infrared' color pops on camera and in person. The contrast between the black nubuck and that vibrant red is timeless. Wearing these, you get that classic 90s basketball vibe. Compared to, say, an Air Jordan 1, the 6 has a much bulkier, more aggressive profile. It's a statement piece for sure.
