When i was a kid in 4th grade, the 1st shoe i ever recognized as a “cool shoe” was on the feet of my friend who was wearing the AJ6 Black/Infrared. This shoe will forever be my introduction into Jordan sneakers
I was 9 years old and a buddy had them and I was SO jealous, it burned an image into my mind I still remember vividly to this day. I’m going to have to pickup a pair, too bad I didn’t try in 2019. I’ll have to pay a small premium now
Appreciate the historical insight. I definitely remember playing travel league ball and being wowed by other players rocking the OG Jordan’s while I was rocking some bobos. Took me a few years to save up for a special pair. Now it sucks that it’s so hard to cop a pair, especially anything with some “hype”. Kudos for your Hibbetts hook up, just wish the common folk can get some enjoyment too.
I remember seeing the huge footlocker ad wrapped on our metro buses back in 1991! I also used to draw this sneaker every day in class instead doing my work lol
djmontecarlo I can relate.. I used to draw Jordan’s and act like I’m doing my work. Then when new Jordan’s was previewed in stores, I would draw then and showcase it to my school. I became very popular because of that
The 2014 pair was "Infrared-23" not "Infrared". There's a difference. We all know Nike/Jordan Brand tinkers with the colorways of their retros, this being no exception. Infrared-23 is a variation of Infrared, it's not the exact same. That's why they look different
Afrikan Caesar that’s a good callout they went in on that infrared 23 color that year. They were not marketed as a different shoe tho it was a retro of the OG to anyone that was looking for em
@EABOY2600 comprehension is key. The same shade of Infrared was used on both shoes, which was "Infrared-23". It's literally on the box. Just because you have one pair the name because the upper was mostly that color doesn't negate what I said. Do your homework.
Back in 91 was when I got my 1st pair of J's.. walked in some wet grass and messed up the soles!! Luckily I kept the receipt and was able to return them for cash and bought a new pair at another store! It was a simpler time back then!
I was 13 in 91 and I was able to cop them that day they dropped for 125.00. I rocked them at school the next day and I was breaking necks left and right! now I’m 40 and my new 2019’s are due to arrive today in the mail! Can’t wait!
I was 10 in 1991 and I was not gonna get these I was poor growing up I didn't even think about because I knew it wasn't happening. In 2000 I didn't get them I was a year out of HS and just missed out....so these are home!!!! Might get a second pair later.
Me too brother but I'm waiting on the 11s. These are beautiful though. Just not something I need. If I really wanted them I would of pre ordered. No time for games.
Looks really good, and way better than the previous infrared version. AJVI is my personal favorite AJ. I was in 6th grade when it came out, like half of the class had a pair but I was one of those who couldn't afford it. Thank the sneaker gods for this retro trend in the sneaker world. Apart from the nostalgia it brings, I'm a big Batman fan and AJVI's connection to Batman history makes this shoe all the more special for me. For those who didn't know, Michael Keaton wore VIs customized into bat-boots in Batman Returns. Perhaps a new all-black colorway should be done in 2022 for the film's 30th anniversary, maybe call it Dark Knight :)
This shoe was awesome I was 12 when it drop and I still remember kids rocking this in the my area and I was hella jealous! Now I have a great/awesome well paying job and I’m definitely buy them! Great review!
Great video, picked these up back in 91 when I was on holiday in Orlando. Have the 14 release but just never felt right. Shoe arrives tomorrow, hope the quality is on point✌
Thanks so much for the history of this sneaker. I’m somewhat of a new sneaker head so don’t know all of the history with Jordans. Definitely will look at some old videos of MJ playing in these. Already secured a few pairs by the way😂
Just received my pair from SNKRS. Honestly, the color differences between the 2019 and the 2014 is just, simply, too close. Don’t get me wrong, definitely darker and less of that pink hue but, closer in hand than most pictures/videos make it seem. Happy with them in this form/shape and slight color differential.
I love this shoe. Very beautiful shoe. I remember watching old youtubers, who had those stacks and stacks of jordan boxes, show off their many pairs of the first retro from '99-'00. I bought 4 pairs for now lol small dream come true
Much lovd bro!😎I was that kid who was stuck with the payless knockoff and then my best friends dad brought the real one to school and it was devastating! Been waiting since 4th grade and now I can get a pair! Won my raffle im stoked!😎😎😎😎
I remember as a kid I use to get every Jordan 1-7 for Xmas or just as a gift from my godmother, some models in different color ways. A lot of them actually. After that I wasn’t really that into them anymore. As I got older I got into them again but now I had to buy them on my own. This shoe is just one of those shoes I always wanted again now it’s available again and I’m def coping. And I’m def getting my son a pair too👍🏼
@@cameronphillips2509 theres a couple of pairs still sitting out here. Seen a size 8 at footlocker today and a 10.5 at hibbetts. They won't last much longer
Not sure if I should get them after my 2014 pair melted after playing in them a few times. Heard the quality on this one is better but is it really worth it man.
Everyone talks about everything but the actual sizing of this shoe! The 2014 fits were off I also own the 1990s and 2000 varsity pair! I hope the 2019 had as a better fit than the 2014!!
Honestly I like the 2014 infrared better than the red of the 2019. What I’m gonna do is buy the 2019 version and custom paint it to be like the infrared 23 from 2014
Copped these off the Nike early release weeks ago but I was disappointed in the nubuck material. I like the story and history behind them, but I’ve never had an emotional attachment to the 6s so it’s just another JB sneaker in my opinion. 11s and 3s got a special place in my sneaker heart tho.
Uk drop close to GR release. Loads of pairs sitting. But I’m sure not for long. It wasn’t a instant sellout which was very surprising. I managed to cop 2 casually.
Bruh i just copped my pair 1 hour ago The Nike store only had one pair per size so they did a raffle and me and 2 other guys were for size 8 and I won the pair so preatty limited
@@marentes133 I'm passing on those, I've never been a fan of 4s believe it or not. If I do get them it'll be to complete the collection. I'm sleep until December if you know what I mean.
Still gonna rock the 2014 pair, I mean yeah its not true red but I dont care it still a nice shoe in my opinion. I'm still gonna get the 2019 pair, is a timeless classic 🔥🔥🔥

Copped... My first pair of OG Jordans...absolutely 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Curwin Samuels nice 👍
I have no complaints about my 2014 pair, so I will rock those tomorrow and keep $200 in my pocket. That's a win-win.
"El Jefe" to me 2019 is the same as 2014 ,Nike air on the back is not noticeable, I'm with you ,keeping my $200..i have the 2014🙄
IMO These are the top kicks of all time, no contest.
sotor 305. You aint neva lied bruh.
Back in 91, few of my classmates wore that shoes & I got jealous LOL. Now I own 2014 & 2019 pairs.
Same here, I copped all the kicks I missed as a child.
It's nostalgia & part of my childhood. Had to cop 'em
Night and day from 14’ to 19’

what book is that ngl is looks amazing
Comfort and durability being black are a few reasons being overlooked just because of how iconic and dope the kicks are
Picked these up this morning! Put them on in the car. Couldn't even wait till I got home!
Back in 91 was when I got my 1st pair of J's.. walked in some wet grass and messed up the soles!! Luckily I kept the receipt and was able to return them for cash and bought a new pair at another store! It was a simpler time back then!
I've wanted those shoes since 91 lol. Picked up the Butler's and I like them, but that red and black.🔥🔥
And cheaper🤷♂️
I was 13 in 91 and I was able to cop them that day they dropped for 125.00. I rocked them at school the next day and I was breaking necks left and right! now I’m 40 and my new 2019’s are due to arrive today in the mail! Can’t wait!
If you wear Jordan's and your over 35 somethings wrong with you
What was the book you held up to show the OG colorways?
Nick Jones BRO THATS WHAT IM WONDERING TOO
They come with the shoes
Jose Rios you smokin some crack? Because they don’t come in the box 😂😭
@@nessa37286 no... but I can tell you just started "collecting sneakers".. the book came with the Jordan 11 dmp's.... if you need another lesson lmk
Jose Rios are you slow lmfaoo you just said they came with the shoes. Obviously they didn’t lmfao. You have to order that book online
I was 10 in 1991 and I was not gonna get these I was poor growing up I didn't even think about because I knew it wasn't happening. In 2000 I didn't get them I was a year out of HS and just missed out....so these are home!!!! Might get a second pair later.
What is that jordan book you showed and where can I buy one at
Can u were icy bottoms in tha rain or suede shoes
Any tips on cleaning the bottom?
You nailed it with this video fam, awesome bro, keep up the good work bro, I need them because they are classic
Got mine reserved at ftl. You exact on why these are grails. Anything og is right up my ally. The nostalgia man.
Are these comfortable and better Than the Jordan 1's ?
Where can I get that Jordan shoe book used at 2:08?
I like these but I’m waiting for the breds 🌊🌊
these are breds also but i know u mean the 4's
Me too brother but I'm waiting on the 11s. These are beautiful though. Just not something I need. If I really wanted them I would of pre ordered. No time for games.
I got the infrareds after waiting five hours after forgetting to make a reservation at footlocker, hopefully the 4s will be simpler to get
I can tell lol

bro what's that magazine at 2:01?!
Still have my baby 91’s from back in the day
The shot with the change of hands was huge! Such an amazing play, wearing these kicks!
I can’t lie these are crispy as hell, happy to see that the quality is getting better❗️❗️
I'm happy I got a pair .
Keep up the good work.
Bay fam
Where did you get that book?
Jordan 6 and Air Max 95 are my two favorite shoes of all time!
Great video, picked these up back in 91 when I was on holiday in Orlando. Have the 14 release but just never felt right. Shoe arrives tomorrow, hope the quality is on point✌
It says im block from hibbit and I cant enter the website
Does it crease? Thinking about copping them
Got them. My wife hates them.
Mine too... I have the Butler's, but I want these bad!!!
she just mad cuz you got that drip
Tyler Mears Are they comfortable
Pretty much a "men appreciate it only" shoe.. one if the best ever for sure
@@noimjusttryinghey8195 there really comfortable and roomy it feels like your walking on air
I think you have to put the 12s in the timeless category as well.
Is there going to be a nike website se soon? And great video btw
Name of these book?
Thanks so much for the history of this sneaker. I’m somewhat of a new sneaker head so don’t know all of the history with Jordans. Definitely will look at some old videos of MJ playing in these. Already secured a few pairs by the way😂

How do you keep these clean though? Mine is getting dirty fast
need a suede brush!
Much lovd bro!😎I was that kid who was stuck with the payless knockoff and then my best friends dad brought the real one to school and it was devastating! Been waiting since 4th grade and now I can get a pair! Won my raffle im stoked!😎😎😎😎
nice! yeah I actually had to play ball in my payless pair, it was so embarrassing when dudes on my team had the real thing
The white infra red was my first ever basketball shoes wore it till the bitter end!!!
Do they crease
I remember as a kid I use to get every Jordan 1-7 for Xmas or just as a gift from my godmother, some models in different color ways. A lot of them actually.

LRJ 530 that’s dope!
Had an original pair in this color way in ‘91. Would love to get another pair just don’t want to spend the money 😒
Ayyyyy another dope video thnxs for the review must cop‼️‼️
I won 2 raffles was only planning to pick up 1 but after this video, I’m getting the 2nd pair. 👍🏾
eciaccord man I wanna double up tomorrow lol
It's a good pair to double up on. You know someone who only copped one pair and wore them out will want another pair
I copped 2, my buddy at work want my second pair, I'm good after seeing them on foot, now I need 2 pair of bred 4s, wish me luck!🤣
@@cameronphillips2509 theres a couple of pairs still sitting out here. Seen a size 8 at footlocker today and a 10.5 at hibbetts. They won't last much longer

GSUnit21 they run big, I went half size down and they fit perfectly
Picked them up today, used but super good condition , 120€ 🥴 that's such a steal
Best trainers ever.
Had a pair in 91.
So tempted to get another pair
I got lucky and got a reserved spot at foot locker. My first W
Honestly I like the 2014 infrared better than the red of the 2019. What I’m gonna do is buy the 2019 version and custom paint it to be like the infrared 23 from 2014
My only grip about the 6s is that the bottom eventually turn yellow which I hate
By far my favorite Jordan. Grails all day.
Copped these off the Nike early release weeks ago but I was disappointed in the nubuck material. I like the story and history behind them, but I’ve never had an emotional attachment to the 6s so it’s just another JB sneaker in my opinion. 11s and 3s got a special place in my sneaker heart tho.
Footlocker took my money Saturday..but I haven't received confirmation email or shipping info...wtf??
monday was a holiday so maybe delayed
Finally someone admitting they are a good cop 👍👍👍 nice review.
I was fortunate to have all the Jordans I wanted growing up as a kid but these are my Grails !
These were the first Air Jordans I owned. I was 16 when my pops bought me a pair.
I hope they get a release soon
Uk drop close to GR release. Loads of pairs sitting. But I’m sure not for long. It wasn’t a instant sellout which was very surprising. I managed to cop 2 casually.
Bruh i just copped my pair 1 hour ago
The Nike store only had one pair per size so they did a raffle and me and 2 other guys were for size 8 and I won the pair so preatty limited
How easy will it be to cop ?
Anddddd that’s how you turn the soles yellow walking in water.
These shoes are dope!
My favorite 6 is the Oreo need those to be retro
Forgot about those, I had a chance to copp when they first came out, I passed like a dumb ass, my neighbor coped 2 pairs, I regret it to this day.
Was it infrareds or varsity 6s?
I got a pair and so happy these shoes are the ones that made me get into sneakers
classics!!
Are these comfortable?
when you don’t get paid on release day so you sit back and binge watch videos about them... I should’ve just slept on the switch instead 😂😂
Torn if I should cop or not
Yuh quality is nice 👍
Must cop
Yuh cop
That was my 1st Jordan I had in 91
hey hes,do you think boost loses its softness after several wears?
I would say that it doesn't lose its comfort, it's more a case of getting accustomed to the feel of them.
Copped 11.5 on NDC! Can’t wait to rock them
which book was that?
Siddh Khurana
I think it’s a sole collector magazine
Great sneakr talk
I copped on @nike sneakers but they sent me the wrong size. Size 12.5 for sale.
I need them because I've never had a pair of 6s.
What's funny is I watching an episode of WWF Raw from 2001 and Kevin Nash had these on when NWO made their first appearance on WWF judt the other day.
More than food?
I passed on the 2014 pair for those red and white penny 1s. I doubled up on these though.
Mansa X same I doubled up and I plan on doubling up on the 4s in May!
@@marentes133 I'm passing on those, I've never been a fan of 4s believe it or not. If I do get them it'll be to complete the collection. I'm sleep until December if you know what I mean.
Mansa X I feel you, and yeah those bred 11s are a instant double up too I love black and red
@@marentes133 2019 might as well be called the year of the black and red.
This shoe was worn when jordan did that switch hand layup against the Lakers in the 91 finals
I passed on these because i bought the last 2 versions. Bored with them. Need the citrus 7 , flint 7, and flint 13.
I personally don’t think they all that and the materials look “meh”. I think other silhouettes of the Jordans are better.
Lou M just saw them in store and I wasn’t impressed by the materials and looks
Picked my pair up yesterday even though I have the 2014's, these Grail status for me.
Those are nice and good review
Yo, do a review on some Jean's. I prefer diesel Jean's
Love your channel
The best shoe ever
The creasing on the on foot bother me so much
Just copped my pair🔥🔥🔥
Def a grail check✅
Still gonna rock the 2014 pair, I mean yeah its not true red but I dont care it still a nice shoe in my opinion. I'm still gonna get the 2019 pair, is a timeless classic 🔥🔥🔥
Eduardo Madrigal it’s still a good shoe, these are just better
