First impression? The shape is iconic, man. The build quality feels solid right out of the box. That nubuck is nice and the Infrared hits pop. For around $200 USD, the materials seem on point for a classic Jordan release. Comparing it to other Jordans? The "Air Jordan 6" is more structured than a 1 or 3. It's less about sleek style and more about that mid-90s basketball build. The tech is similar to a 5 or 7, but the 6 has its own unique, chunky profile. It stands out in the Jordan series for its distinctive lines. Now, the cons, because no shoe is perfect. The outsole is a dust magnet, seriously. And like I said, if you're used to modern Zoom Air or Boost, the Air-Sole unit in here will feel basic. It's not a performance shoe anymore. The tongue can also be a bit bulky under pants. So, if cutting-edge comfort is your top priority, the "Air Jordan 6" might not be your first pick. 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.
