Product Information
Full details
The Air Jordan 6 Retro in Black Infrared is a legendary sneaker designed for basketball enthusiasts and footwear collectors who value iconic sports history and classic aesthetics. As the exact silhouette worn by Michael Jordan during his first championship in 1991, this 2019 retro release offers a blend of performance heritage and street-ready style; however, potential owners should note that due to its status as a collector's item, it may require careful maintenance to preserve the integrity of the translucent outsole and premium materials.

FAQs
Are these true to size?
Yes, most users find the Air Jordan 6 fits true to size, though those with wider feet may prefer a half-size increase.
Can I play basketball in these?
While technically designed for basketball, modern performance shoes offer more advanced impact protection and lighter weight materials.
What does the 'Infrared' refer to?
Infrared is the specific shade of vibrant, neon-leaning red used on the midsole accents and branding elements.
How do I protect the nubuck material?
Use a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede and nubuck materials before the first wear.
Is the lace lock removable?
The lace lock is a signature component; while it can be removed by unthreading the laces, it is recommended to keep it on for the intended look.
What is the best way to store these?
Store in their original box or a climate-controlled sneaker display case, away from direct UV light and extreme heat.
Troubleshooting
Lace toggle losing its grip
Ensure the spring mechanism inside the toggle is free of debris. A light cleaning with compressed air can often restore tension.
Creasing on the toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and reduce the appearance of deep creases.
Sole yellowing
While some yellowing is natural due to oxidation, keep shoes out of direct sunlight and use specialized 'sole brightener' products if desired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Jordan 6 Retros remain in prime condition, follow these guidelines. When putting the shoes on, always loosen the lace toggle to avoid stressing the tongue or heel tab. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush with a mild, sneaker-specific cleaning solution to remove surface dirt from the black nubuck or leather upper. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the adhesives and material finishes. To mitigate yellowing on the translucent sole, store the shoes in a cool, dark, and dry environment, ideally using silica gel packets to manage humidity levels.
