The cushioning is firmer than, say, a Jordan 11 or 13. It's its own thing. If you like that late-80s/early-90s Tinker Hatfield design language, you'll dig this model from the Jordan series. Another advantage is the timeless style. This specific Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared' is a grail for many. It goes with so much - jeans, joggers, shorts. It's versatile in a streetwear context. For $200, you're getting a piece of sneaker history that never really goes out of fashion. Now, the not-so-great part? The cushioning might feel a bit basic if you're used to modern, bouncy foams. It's a heavier shoe, so if you prioritize lightweight sneakers, the Air Jordan 6 might not be your first pick. The padded collar can also feel a bit stiff initially. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize maximum comfort and a pillowy step above all else, look at newer tech. Also, if you have very wide feet, definitely try before you buy. This isn't the most forgiving fit. It's a specific feel that not every foot will love.
