If you're used to modern, super-soft foam, the firmer ride of the Air Jordan 6 could be a letdown. Also, some colorways can be tricky to style compared to more versatile models. It's a very "specific" look. Alright, so I just got the "Nike Air Jordan 6 'Infrared'" in hand. First impression? The build quality is solid, man. The nubuck feels premium, and that classic silhouette is just iconic. The black and infrared combo pops so well in natural light. For around $200 USD, this is a strong start to the unboxing. Comparing it to other Jordans, the 6 sits uniquely between the sleekness of the 5 and the bulk of the 7. It has its own distinct personality. For $200, you're paying for the iconic design and heritage. If you want a modern performance basketball shoe, look elsewhere. This is a lifestyle and style piece first. Let's talk on-foot feel. Slipping into the "Air Jordan 6", the fit is snug - true to size for me. The cushioning? It's firm, not super plush like modern shoes, but you definitely feel that Air unit in the heel. It's comfortable for all-day wear, honestly. The ankle collar provides good support without being restrictive. It's a classic feel.
