FAQs
What is the historical significance of the Air Jordan 6 Black Infrared?
This model is iconic because Michael Jordan wore this specific colourway when he secured his first NBA championship ring in 1991.
Are these shoes true to size?
Generally, the Air Jordan 6 fits true to size, but those who prefer a looser fit may consider going up half a size.
Can I play basketball in these shoes?
While they were designed for basketball, modern retro versions are best suited for lifestyle use to preserve their condition.
How do I use the lace lock?
Press the button on the plastic toggle, thread your laces through, and release to lock them in place at your preferred tension.
Are these suitable for all weather conditions?
It is recommended to avoid heavy rain or snow, as moisture can damage the leather and the integrity of the adhesive used in the soles.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
Use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the shape and reduce permanent creasing in the leather.
Midsole paint scuffs
Use a specialized acrylic leather paint designed for trainers to carefully touch up minor scuffs on the midsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Air Jordan 6s remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Breaking In: Like many leather-based trainers, wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the material to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and a mild cleaning solution to remove dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the structural integrity.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the midsole from yellowing or the colours from fading.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the lace lock to ensure the spring mechanism remains functional and free of debris.
