It's more of a mid-top, bulky basketball silhouette from the '90s. Versus a "Jordan 11", the 6 is less about sleekness and more about that rugged, defined look. I think the 6 has its own unique charm in the "Jordan series" that hasn't been overdone. Comparing it to, say, a Jordan 1? The "Jordan 6" is generally more comfortable for longer periods because of that Air unit. Versus a Jordan 11? It's less performance-oriented and more of a lifestyle piece now. Within the Jordan series, the 6 sits in a nice spot—recognizable, wearable, and with a distinct 90s vibe that's hard to beat. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared'" in hand. First impression? The shape is "super" clean, and that black nubuck feels premium right out of the box. The iconic "Infrared" hits on the midsole? They pop even more in person. For a $200 USD shoe, the initial quality check seems solid. No major flaws on my pair. Who should maybe skip it? If you prioritize all-day, cloud-like comfort above all else—look elsewhere. Also, if you prefer low-top or minimal silhouettes, the AJ6's bulk and height might not be your vibe. It's a statement piece, not a barefoot-feel runner. Think about how you'll really wear them before grabbing this Air Jordan 6.
