some people have asked why the "Nike" branding is important to some but not others.. If you were around at the time Nike had several bad ass shoes as well as other brands, LA gear, Converse, The Pump :)..ect Jordans weren't thought of as "Jordan Brand" it was Nikes most bad ass offering..the Air Jordan.. as a kid you obsessed over the commercials, ads, the pair your friend has.. that nike logo is burned into your memory..
Cannot wait for this shoe to come in on Monday. This shoe has been a part of so many life moments for me that I had to get it again. Finally, a faithful rendition of 2000 and the OG pair from 1991.
When I tell you I couldn’t wait until your review! Your reviews are pay attention to detailed type reviews and that’s what the game needs more of much respect ✊🏾
I just wanted you to know that I really enjoy your videos! Your attention to detail & the equipment you use is the BEST on UA-cam! Plus your knowledge & the respect you have for the sneaker culture is second to none IMO! Keep up the great work!! 👍🏻
This is definitely a double up worthy pair of shoes. My favorite jordan ever made and possibly the most iconic to ever drop. Glad to see the nike air branding finally on them, it had to happen.
Wasn't gonna pull the trigger because I got the 2014 pair still icy but these Grails for me and they look better and better in every video definitely copping.
Im a purist.....thats why i never owned a pair of fire red 5's until they released them with the nike air branding on the heel and this was my first pair of infrared's since 2000 because they put the jumpman on the heel. As for the bluish icy soles i wish they went with the clear soles because i just think it throws off the flow of the shoe. just me though.
They need to stop putting up the price because not everyone can afford and with all these releases people wanna cop all of them but 200 every release it adds up and it gets expensive
Wish they gave us leather on the back portion of the shoe but this is the closest to OGwe’ve seen since 2000. Also glad to see the ankle padding return. Great work Marv
Just the person I was looking forward to doing a review on these. How do you like the quality of the nubuck? Do you think it will scuff easily compared to the 2014 pair? Did they go with ortholite or durapointex insoles? I got lucky with the surprise drop, so I’m really excited to get mine in hand this week.
I didn’t show up close but I already had a factory flaw (scuff) on the toe. I’ll do comparisons next week but as far as insole, durapointex 🙌. Much more comfy!
Interesting review however.. I respect the Nike symbol on the back of the shoe but, I liked the jump man better. Example of Jordan 1's... I have to have the jump man on the tongue of the shoe lol. That's just me.
Bro I can tell you admire JB just as much as I do for the right reasons not the hype but for the nostalgia and you hold them to your heart just like I do wish we could meet in person✌ keep on pushing brother
Great review as usual. I have noticed that the contrast heel on these seems to vary from pair to pair, or maybe it just depends on the lighting. Either way can’t wait to double up on these.
Here in Europe price is the same. 190 euro for any pair except Jordan 1 which is 160 euro. I am happy that i was able to pick my pair from early release. Cant wait to see in hand. Great vid as always. Thank You.
The only thing that would send these bad boys back to OG status would be the clear bottoms..never was a fan of the blues tinted soles in retros..the 2000 and 2010 pack kept it OG and look better imo...still gonna grab a pair. closest thing since the 2000 pair. thanks for sharing
Hey Mjo, Does it bother you that JB nails the "NIKE AIR" embroidery on the black metallic 5's in terms of the font but they do a half ass job with the embroidery on the maroon 6's and the recent black infrared 6's??....I just don't get the half ass embroidery like they're knocking off there own shit???
Yes they fit the same just that the 2019 has a softer insole so step in comfort is better. Shoes sit uneven and the left wobbles more than the right on a flat surface. For the 2014 the right wobbles more than the left.
@@mjo23dan I notice the 2014 versions, there is cardboard underneath them. The Carmines I have from 2014 wobbles on the left pair. Should that be a concern when wearing them? I guess I'm not the only one with this issue.
Did you notice the click in button on the tongue, right underneath the lace lock area over the Jumpman logo??? Also, do you know if that was placed on the OG sneaker or not???
They've always been plastic snaps and it isn't removable. I did a comparison with different pairs OG to 2019 here - ua-cam.com/video/VEIDGgZOoUk/v-deo.html
I’m a wide footer as well and went my normal size I usually get. Still think I could go a half size down but because everything is a 10 on the shelf it just looks better to me. I’m OCD.
Couple things... 1. I was also very fortunate to have copped off of SNKRS during the shock drop. I just wish I had time to choose the earlier shipping method! 2. Honestly, the $200 price doesn't bother me for THIS specific model (it does for the other GR releases like the new Laneys, the new Lasers, etc.). Honestly, I'm glad that they changed the price from $220 to $200 for the Nike air treatment. 3. Anyway, dope video! Can't wait to get my pair in this week!
i know this is an old video, but can you explain why you don’t think the 2010 black infrared (from the infrared pack) aren’t true like these retros are? I understand the varsity reds no doubt... i just want to hear your opinion and understand why you didn’t want to to compare those in the Black Infrared Comparison video
Waiting on my pair. Was lucky enough to get the shock drop.....though I didn't realize I could've paid for faster shipping. LOL! I've wanted these since I was 14. Never could get a pair till now. All I need now is the Carmines and my AJ VI collection is complete. All I want are those 2 coloways. Can't wait to see the side by side comparison between original and the 2019.
I don't want to fuck up the sizing, what would you guys recommend? My size is 11 but my feet are very narrow, andI heard you have to take half a size down..?
Is there a big difference if I wore size 10 even if I am originally 9.5? My original size (9.5) sold out immediately and the closest size to mine is 10.
I am a wide footer who normally wears size 10 and I have a TON of room in the toebox. The shoes are long so I would highly suggest going down a half size instead of going up.
i just the saw the 🍞 4's too on sneakerdetroit.. i was waiting for those the moment the cement 4's were announced to coming back around the corner again with nike air on the back.. i was like, come onnn release the playoffs again with nike air too.. a year passed, 2, 3.. i was like, "sighs" 😔 it's no hope.. but when i finally saw them via pics, it felt like a grail moment. i don't usually double up but i think i'm going to with those _and_ these infrared 6's.
Up charge isn’t just the 10 bucks as I had to pay roughly and an additional 13 bucks due to taxes in CT. So to answer the question though I paid it, it absolutely sucks! Shoe is 🔥
I passed. Got 1 dead stock of the 2014 & 1 daily use. Everything is the same except for the branding on the heel. I think if you have a pair(s) you can pass on these for now.
@@mjo23dan really?..ok. damn that sucks there's so many on NikeTalk where the heel looks like it is, that's unfortunate. Thanx for the reply Marvin.. appreciate all your knowledge bro 4realz!.

Best Infareds SINCE the 2000s! Glad we getting the first wave of "bred" shoes in the year of 2019...good overview MJO23DAN!
I used to shop at instyle eBay store all the time ... these 6’s are pretty dope and I’m really happy with how they came out
Just when u think ur out of the shoe game....this beauties dropped🏀🏀🏀
I’ve heard this from a few people. Definitely has some folks coming out of retirement.
I know the feeling mane!
Cannot wait for this shoe to come in on Monday. This shoe has been a part of so many life moments for me that I had to get it again. Finally, a faithful rendition of 2000 and the OG pair from 1991.

This is definitely a double up worthy pair of shoes. My favorite jordan ever made and possibly the most iconic to ever drop. Glad to see the nike air branding finally on them, it had to happen.
These are actually a price reduction. The 2015 maroon 6 with nike air on the cheeks was 220. Dope vid.
Wasn't gonna pull the trigger because I got the 2014 pair still icy but these Grails for me and they look better and better in every video definitely copping.
Can’t wait to see your comparison video. I already know it’s about to be dope.
I appreciate you answering all the questions I had about this release
I'm doubling up on every og that drops this year, starting with these. I think they're super clean.
Thankfully my GS pair had no harsh glue smell, happy about that. And they did these quite well with the execution to me!
Anything wit black and red is fire to me 🔥🔥🔥👊🏻
OGYUNG ONE not them bred 5s
Iam privilege i own the 1992 ,, my first pair of jordan,,i was 12!!! To me this release means alot
Im a purist.....thats why i never owned a pair of fire red 5's until they released them with the nike air branding on the heel and this was my first pair of infrared's since 2000 because they put the jumpman on the heel.

Awesome review! I got my pair, and i love them!!!
Seen these in person today and I’m definitely hype about the release. It’s a must I get a pair!
Copped a pair off the Goat App so checking videos out to make sure mines are real. Thanks for the review.
I typically will throw a link for the shoe I’m reviewing in the description of my videos. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the early look and I will definitely be copping these
Fire! Looking forward to the comparison!!
Bred 11 ... Stitched 23 with OG 1996 Box is what I’m wishing for 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Them jawns 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. In the thumbnail you look like DJ Envy from Breakfast Club.
Great stuff as always! Just spent an hour digging thru ISS like the golden days 👍
🙏
They need to stop putting up the price because not everyone can afford and with all these releases people wanna cop all of them but 200 every release it adds up and it gets expensive
I think these 6s is an OG thing and they understand the significance and history behind it.
You and night wing probly the best sneaker reviewers on UA-cam hands down
Thank you. Appreciate that.
Wish they gave us leather on the back portion of the shoe but this is the closest to OGwe’ve seen since 2000. Also glad to see the ankle padding return. Great work Marv
I’ve heard inconsistencies with pairs having the heel contrast and ones that look like mine. It might be a QC issue.
Beautiful shoe. My pair should be here Monday from the early drop on SNKRS. Dope review as always.
Great video brotha👍🏽💯 can’t wait till 2/16/19👌🏽🙏🏽
Really good quality video! Hope i can cop. Subbed
Thank you for that 👍
Yes. My favorite Jordan's. Then the 13s
13s >6s 😏

I'll be copping on the 16th 🔥
The best AJs ever. Thanks for the $10 discount... already used it!
Yes! You’re awesome bro. More to come with those guys 🙏
MJO23DAN great! Awesome! I am waiting for your side by side comparison. Best!
Interesting review however.. I respect the Nike symbol on the back of the shoe but, I liked the jump man better. Example of Jordan 1's... I have to have the jump man on the tongue of the shoe lol. That's just me.
No problem. I’m for the Nike Air. It’s how it was when they originally dropped and what MJ wore on court.
Great review on these. Must cop. 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome video bro
Bro I can tell you admire JB just as much as I do for the right reasons not the hype but for the nostalgia and you hold them to your heart just like I do wish we could meet in person✌ keep on pushing brother
Great review as usual. I have noticed that the contrast heel on these seems to vary from pair to pair, or maybe it just depends on the lighting. Either way can’t wait to double up on these.
Yes I’ve seen reports of contrast and no contrast. I’ll have to take note next video
Very nice shoes, one of my fav J6 colorways. I have a doubt, do the J3, 4, 5 and 6 use a different kind of glue or why do they smell that strong?
Not sure but it’s really strong!
Clean pair no complaints
So iconic, definitely going to cop.
Oh yeah already got the assist on one pair and was able to cop off SNKRS. Excited!
Gotta get em...... my one of my fav and I can Add to the collection. I never had this color!!!
Bro I am geeked to get these I'm a huge fan of the 6s
My favorite Jordans! VI Brought 2 pair
What’s with the video dislikes??? I enjoyed the review video keep up the good work 👍🏽
Trolls and haters. It doesn’t affect my work. Thanks for watching 👍
People have their own opinions on talent. This a great video, and those infrareds 6’s are clean 🧼
Thank you for sticking with me ✊️
These are very fresh IMO still like my 2014 but these definitely have that HOT SAUCE 🔥🔥
We need that sample pair tho always love it more because it pops because more infrared on the sole and heel. So clean
Here in Europe price is the same. 190 euro for any pair except Jordan 1 which is 160 euro. I am happy that i was able to pick my pair from early release. Cant wait to see in hand. Great vid as always. Thank You.
MJO23DAN + Good vid fam. Can't wait for your comparison vid. Salute. 👍👊✊✌🕺🏿💃🏼💯🙏🏽
Dope AF. Id look for them to also drop the OG white infrared 6s this year with the proper "darker" Infrared.
The only thing that would send these bad boys back to OG status would be the clear bottoms..never was a fan of the blues tinted soles in retros..the 2000 and 2010 pack kept it OG and look better imo...still gonna grab a pair. closest thing since the 2000 pair. thanks for sharing

They fit just like the 2014 versions? Does your wobble?
Yes they fit the same just that the 2019 has a softer insole so step in comfort is better. Shoes sit uneven and the left wobbles more than the right on a flat surface. For the 2014 the right wobbles more than the left.
@@mjo23dan I notice the 2014 versions, there is cardboard underneath them. The Carmines I have from 2014 wobbles on the left pair. Should that be a concern when wearing them? I guess I'm not the only one with this issue.
Nah. The cardboard beneath is common for 6s. Just how it was built. Stay tuned for my comparison video.
@@mjo23dan I get that.. I just wonder if a shoe wobbles, you think that should be a concern?
No
Did you notice the click in button on the tongue, right underneath the lace lock area over the Jumpman logo??? Also, do you know if that was placed on the OG sneaker or not???
Yup it’s exactly the same
Thanks for video. Can you compare the snap buttons on the removable part of the tongue? I bet they’ve gone plastic as opposed to metal snap.
They've always been plastic snaps and it isn't removable. I did a comparison with different pairs OG to 2019 here - ua-cam.com/video/VEIDGgZOoUk/v-deo.html
These are too fresh
The red jumps off of the shoe+the black is extra rich+the 3m These are a must cop for me
Would you still recommended going true to size for a wide footer? I usually wear size 10.5 in Jordan 1s, 4s, and 5s, but wear an 11 in the Jordan 3.
I’m a wide footer as well and went my normal size I usually get. Still think I could go a half size down but because everything is a 10 on the shelf it just looks better to me. I’m OCD.
What do you think of the AJ12 Chinese New Year ??
Passing
Those are nice and good review
I can’t wait my pair 🔥🔥🔥🔥
It don’t even matter what they look like . I’m copping 2 pair and re painting 1 of’em!!
Re Painting them what color?
Euro American i think it’s called angeles paint but it’s the actual varsity red color way that’s on the 6’s
Couple things...
1. I was also very fortunate to have copped off of SNKRS during the shock drop. I just wish I had time to choose the earlier shipping method!
2. Honestly, the $200 price doesn't bother me for THIS specific model (it does for the other GR releases like the new Laneys, the new Lasers, etc.). Honestly, I'm glad that they changed the price from $220 to $200 for the Nike air treatment.

I don’t own it so it’s not in the video. If you want to volunteer your pair, I’ll be happy to do a video.
Would u suggest to get this J6 or the J1 Turbo Green..? Thanx
Haven’t seen the Turbo Green in hand. Looks okay after I’ve seen more pics. It’s ultimately your decision.
we never tied the aj 6 up high and the lace lock was placed near the toe
Where did you get the info on the phylon midsole? If they replaced the p/u, that’s huge news.
I didn’t. I miscommunicated phylon for PU

Nice! Yes they definitely are. Looking forward to working with them more in the future as well as other forthcoming projects.
These look better when its not infrared ...I like actually red instead !
great review. still unsure if worth $200 for me since i still have 2014 retro.

Yo please answer if I'm a normal 9.5 I copped a 10 for more room just in case will they fit huge?
Should be okay but not like a boat. It’s really up to your foot but I honestly could’ve sufficed with a half size down.
Did these come with a size sticker on the insole?
No

You got it. Thank you for the support!
I think materials are ok after having the green Gatorades I’m disappointed on all other materials on 6s. Even unc 6s are better materials.
The OG speaks! Good video homie. I posted it on TheShoeGame.com. Respect!
Thank you bro 🙏

Pick them up and the Jimmy Butlers as well

It’s nubuck just like the rest of the upper. No contrasting heel. I will bring that up in the comparison video.
