Product Information

Full details

The Air Jordan 6 Retro Infrared Salesman trainers are designed for adult males seeking a distinctive and historically significant addition to their footwear collection. The key benefit lies in its unique 'reverse infrared' color blocking and archive-inspired details, offering a fresh take on an iconic silhouette. A potential caveat is its limited availability and specific aesthetic, which may not appeal to everyone. This shoe celebrates the 35th anniversary of the AJ6 by reimagining a rare 1990s sample, featuring black uppers with light crimson accents, a special sample tag, and a 'Not For Resale' stamp.

FAQs

What makes the 'Infrared Salesman' colorway special?

It's special because it reimagines a rare, unreleased 1990s sample colorway of the Air Jordan 6, flipping the placement of the iconic infrared accents and featuring unique details like a sample tag and 'Not For Resale' stamp.

Is this shoe good for actual basketball playing?

While the Air Jordan 6 was originally a performance basketball shoe, this retro release is primarily intended for lifestyle wear and collection. For intense athletic performance, dedicated modern basketball shoes are recommended.

How do I clean the black upper and light crimson accents?

Gently wipe the black upper with a soft, damp cloth. For the light crimson accents, use the same method. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water to preserve the materials and colors.

What does the 'Not For Resale' stamp mean?

The 'Not For Resale' stamp is a historical nod to the original 'Salesman Sample' nature of the concept shoe it's based on. It's a collector's detail and does not reflect the actual resale availability of this release.

What size is this specific guide referring to?

This guide is based on the product title 'Jordan 6 Retro Infrared Salesman - Black - Red - Size 5.5', indicating it refers to a UK Men's size 5.5.

Where can I find other sizes?

Other sizes are available through various retailers and secondary marketplaces. The product information provided lists several sibling variants with different UK sizes.

What is the typical lifespan of these trainers with regular wear?

With proper care and regular, non-athletic wear, the trainers can last for several years. The lifespan depends heavily on the frequency of use and how well they are maintained.

Troubleshooting

Sizing concerns

Refer to the specific UK size listed. It is advisable to try them on if possible or consult size conversion charts for accurate fitting. Remember these are a specific release and fit might vary slightly.

Creasing on the upper

Creasing is natural with wear, especially on leather or synthetic uppers. To minimize visible creasing, consider using shoe trees when not in use and avoid overly flexing the shoe during activity.

Scuff marks on the sole or midsole

Light scuff marks can often be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher marks, a magic eraser can be used cautiously on the midsole, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Lace fraying or damage

Replace frayed or damaged laces with a new set of laces of similar length and color. Ensure the new laces are tied securely but not overly tight to avoid stressing the eyelets.
