Product Information
Full details
The Air Jordan 6 Retro Infrared is a legendary basketball trainer designed for adult athletes and collectors who value iconic 90s heritage and a classic black and red aesthetic. As the model worn by Michael Jordan during his first championship victory in 1991, it offers a unique blend of basketball history and distinct design elements; however, because it is a heritage-focused silhouette, it may lack the advanced, high-tech cushioning found in modern performance-specific athletic footwear.

FAQs
Is the Air Jordan 6 Retro Infrared true to size?
Most wearers find the Air Jordan 6 to fit true to size, though the rigid structure of the upper may feel snug initially.
Can I play basketball in these today?
While technically a basketball shoe, the technology is outdated compared to modern sneakers. It is better reserved for casual use to preserve the condition of the materials.
What does the 'Infrared' color refer to?
Infrared refers to the specific, vibrant red-orange accent color that highlights the midsole and branding, which is a signature element of this classic colorway.
How do I use the heel pull ring?
The heel pull ring is designed to assist in sliding your foot into the shoe, helping to protect the heel counter from collapsing while putting them on.
Are these sneakers unisex?
While listed here in men's sizing (UK 12), the Air Jordan 6 is widely considered a unisex style and can be worn by anyone, provided the sizing conversion is correct.
Troubleshooting
Lace toggle slipping during wear
Ensure the internal spring is free of debris; if it slips, reset the toggle by pulling it fully away from the tongue before clamping back down.
Creasing in the toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of the leather upper; use a plastic or foam shoe tree immediately after taking the sneakers off to minimize deep creases.
Pros and Cons

- Secure lockdown fit provided by the lace toggle system

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Jordan 6s stay in top condition, keep them away from excessive heat or prolonged direct sunlight, which can affect the color integrity of the Infrared accents.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap solution for the upper materials. Always test in a small, hidden area first.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to maintain the structural shape of the ankle collar.
- Compatibility: The UK 12 sizing is standard for the Air Jordan 6 model; however, if you have wider feet, you may prefer using a thinner performance sock to ensure the lace toggle closure remains comfortable across the midfoot.
