First off, the box is classic. The shoe itself? The shape is iconic, and that Infrared hit just pops. For around $200 USD, the initial quality feels solid. The materials are decent, though not super premium. It's a classic Jordan series release, no doubt. Comparing it to other Jordans? The Air Jordan 6 sits higher than a 1 or 4, offering more leg coverage. The cushioning is firmer than an Air Jordan 11 or 13. It's less about court performance now and more about style and that retro basketball aesthetic. Each model in the Jordan series has its own character. On feet, the silhouette just works. The higher cut gives good ankle "presence". The 'Infrared' colorway is versatile; it goes with a lot of fits. In different lighting, the nubuck texture and those reflective accents on the lace lock really stand out. It's a shoe that looks better in person than in pics, honestly. On feet, the design just works. The silhouette is bulky in a cool, 90s way. That infrared pops against the black, and the clear outsole adds a nice detail. For a retro, the Nike Air Jordan 6 has a presence that looks great in person and on camera. It's a statement piece for sure.
