2019 All Star Black Infrared Air Jordan 6

[SNEAKEATER_619]

Wow now we can stop beating the dead horse about heel contrast and shade of infrared and whatnot. Was getting tired of scrolling past PARAGRAPHS of *****ing.

 

[forest hills]

Dope. Contrast heel and everything. I hope most of y’all are happy now.

I am.

 

[noblekane]

my maroon vi still bleeding on the collars smh

 

[dhtowng]

That looks like a real dark orange to me, definitely copping day one but I’m keeping my 2014s for now

I’d definitely keep a pair of the ‘14s but some of you guys really don’t know what infrared is and is supposed to look like lol. The shade used on these ‘19s is awesome to say the least.

 

[lamekilla]

Decided to throw on Maroons today and seen this

Damn G. Is that ink from the receipt? It doesn’t look like bleeding from the midsole but the fact that Maroons have been reported to bleed the way they have has made me pass on a pair when I’ve had ample opportunities to scoop they not built to last

 

[dhtowng]

Still waiting.. hoping that's not actually official. That boot is still there..

If it ends up being a 2014 with NA and better red (which is what that looks like).. I'll just do 1 pair.

You still saying this

It don’t look like ‘14s to me. Angle could be throwing off the overall shape. These are it

Yup ink from receipt, happened to couple of my pairs infrared 6s, gold medal 11s n pair of foams... I still rock them tho!!

 

[willy156]

My friend gonna get rid of his 2014s and grab these

 

[danewera]

I want to see more pics but I'm sold on them so far

That type of day

 

[tonytobacco]

come on man it is its own color. not just red with orange on top I can promise you that

Its not its own color what are you talking about?

There are only 7 primary colors and infrared isnt one of them. Its red plus "?????" . And I say its a touch of orange, sue me

 

[tonytobacco]

2000’s was dope when they dropped.

Too bad they ain’t stand the test of time.

19-20 years from now, they’ll do it right and have the contrast heel and the “layered” pods for us.

They were never layered, its just a matter of how hard they indented that area where its stitched.

 

[tonytobacco]

my favorite part is the thinner / shallow / less tall midfoot part of the upper. That shape makes them look OG. Theres not much to complain about with these. Even the heel looks differently textured.

 

[HellRazor1978]

Other than the tongue, these turned almost how o wanted them. It’s been YEARS since I’ve had Infrareds. Cannot wait for these.

 

[infraredsix]

some of you guys really don’t know what infrared is and is supposed to look like lol.

I was in high school when these dropped in ‘91 so perhaps my memory is a bit fuzzy, but either way just because I haven’t memorized every square inch of every infrared 6 that ever came out doesn’t make me any less of a fan than you are. This shoe is tied to a lot of fond memories I have of just being a carefree kid and that’s all that matters to me.

 

[Glorious]

Same. Had the OGs back in 91, my first pair of Js just after I left high school. Wore them til they fell apart

Speaking of just this shoe. They were all world to me in 91. Thought I knew just about everything there was to know. Still a top 5 all time to me. But guys on here see details that even blow my mind. But yeah, infrared can be seen totally different in several different sets of eyes.

 

[koolkeith34]

but its been confirmed that the heel was not leather on the OG.

I had them.... I'm 40, I had them 7th grade year. alot of people wanted the whole shoe to be nubuck, like the 5's were the year before. If it wasn't leather it was pleather. it surely wasn't what we are getting with this shoe.

 

[koolkeith34]

Damn, was really hoping for the White cut edges of the Leather on the upper like the OG, having that really makes the shoe imo.... SMH oh well?

Yes I agree completely. Got some folks happy to have "close enough" as a retro.

I was 10 in 1991. Had no idea the difference in nubuck to durabuck. Hell I thought they were suede honestly. lol.

I don't recall the OGs, even though I owned them in '91. But....from the pics it certainly looks like a different layer, and not some indentation technique. Personally not important to me, but it really does look layered. If I can get these easily, I'll likely try. If they're much more comfortable than my '14s, I'll probably keep them and try to sell my '14s. I'm at that point in my stacks where I definitely don't need multiples of the same shoe, and my '14s are VNDS. I just hate selling on eBay...I hate taking pics, and more importantly, it takes freak'n forever, and how much could I actually get after these drop anyway...

On another note, I actually don't like lace locks; that's the first thing that comes off. I like the sleek look. And I actually do use the lace cover! I love the clean look of the laces tucked into the lace cover. Yes, it adds a bump, but the jumpman looks sleek, and the shoe looks clean without laces. And I would never tuck them behind the tongue; doesn't feel good to me. Does anyone else use the neoprene jumpman as a lace cover? I'm thinking it was never intended to be worn that way; that's what the lace lock is for....oh well....I do what I like ;-).

This! I was in elementary school when these dropped. I had 4s, 5s, and 7s, but never the 6s. Filling the void next month.

I wonder if hear if this release will be just like the black cement 3. I know people say the 3 is iconic and this and that, but people always go in for an Infrared 6. At least in 2014 people did.

Eh Jordan hype was crazy then so anything was selling lmao, these are also more $ but with nA on this iconic cw they will still sell, but nothing to panic about

Yup.. with conviction too lol. I agree though that it could be the angle. But my boot parade won't rest until I get a solid Gatorade VI looking retro. It wouldn't have irritated me so much if they didnt make allll these VI's from late 2017-2018 without the boot.
