First off, the box is classic. The shoe itself? The shape is iconic, and the black nubuck feels premium right out of the gate. That "Infrared" hit on the midsole? It just pops, man. For around $200 USD, the initial quality seems solid. It's a timeless look from the Jordan series. 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. So, who is this for? If you love the "Jordan series" heritage, this is a must-have. It's for collectors and casual wearers who appreciate a classic silhouette. The 'Infrared' is arguably the best colorway of the "Air Jordan 6". If you want a comfortable, stylish retro that gets compliments, you'll love these. Comparing it to, say, a "Jordan 1"? It's a totally different animal. The "AJ6" is more of a mid-top, structured basketball shoe from that era. It's not as minimalist as a 1, and it feels more substantial on foot. If you love 90s basketball aesthetics, this is your jam.
