- A look into my all time favorite shoe and colorway, the Air Jordan 6 black/infrared. I'll be discussing my first pair from Christmas, 1991. Also the GS size 4 leather OG version. Finally, a comparison of the Nike Air DS trio from 1991, 2000 and 2019.

Your channel has the real og content and needs more views because your great at what you do brother keep it up
Thanks for the nice comment, will do.. stay tuned!
The tongue being so high was what I remembered about the OG Jordan 5s and 6s. When I started seeing retros much later that was what I saw missing from them.
Yep, definitely taller. Lots of people complain about aj5 tongue height but they should be higher. First retro in 2000 was great but a bit short. Glad they are making them taller but a little heavy on padding with the retro.
This was my first jordan shoe, but I went straight back to wearing Reebok pumps again, until about 94. So these will always be special to me.
Legendary story how you’re mom got them. I remember doing the same for the bred 4s back in 89 or 90. My dad finally broke down and got them for me.
Ah man, that was the first pair I really wanted! I guess I should've shed tears earlier lol
One of best videos of OG comparables to today
Thanks man, playoff 8 coming very soon!!
You have one of the best shoe channels on RUclips. No frills, just the OG.
Thanks man, I'll keep them coming!
Thats cool you still have your original pair from when you were a kid. I wish I would have hung on to my original pairs.
Thanks man, I have all my childhood pairs. My folks knew how much they meant to me even if beat up haha
First and foremost MVP goes to Mom for that classy move.Really looking forward to seeing the Carmine release as they make the efforts to have it look more like the OG release.
Yes sir, forever grateful for this first pair! Pumped for the carmines for sure!
That's a dope story man! I'm sure your parents would respect the fact you kept your shoes after 30 years! Enjoy your videos!
Thanks man, they certainly do!
Thanks for schooling me on my favourite sneaker! 🙏🏼
My pleasure, thanks for watching!
Jordan black 6 infrared my fav sneakers of all time
Awesome vid! Moms are the best!
Haha yes! Thanks for watching
Do you have any more photos of these together? FIRE VIDEO BRO!!! Need more like this!!
Check on my Instagram account I have posted them in the past.. thanks for watching!
Definitely one of my favorites man this videos so dope. I definitely feel like the 2014 infrared matches way more then the 2019 with the OGs. I loved the 2014 color
I dig the 2014 pair as well, just posted myself wearing them yesterday lol.. the infrared shade is definitely lightest out of the bunch. Closest id say is the 2000. Both 2019 and 2000 have great details to OG but overall my favorite retro is the 2000. Absolutely nothing like the 1991 release though, Absolutely stunning !😍
Man that 2000 is very clean! But man after seen the OG comparison's you have been posting lately on here, I realized were getting some new school knock off shoes lol! It's bad man the shape, the cut out ankle hell even the grey lining. Thanks for doing this for us btw.
@@BigSparky1316 thanks man, I'm glad you enjoy the videos. I'll keep them coming! Really fun doing this one for sure!
Bro! I would love a black leather infrared 6. I've always thought it would look amazing. I've been thinking of doing a custom on my chameleon all star 6s and just painting the leather black.
Yup I Got It Like The Leather One Because Sometimes Durabuck Be Cracking I’m Speaking My OG Pair So I Had To Do The Tennis Ball Method In Some Areas But It’s All Good
I still have my ogs
Great review 👍🏾
Thank you!🙌🏻🙏🏻
Back In Them Days When “Durabuck” Material Made These Quality Jordans People Never Needed A Cell Phone Or The Internet To Get The Shoes All They Do Is Get Em In Go Even $125 Was $190 Back Then And Minimum Wage Was Like $3.....I Had Em In Months Old....Today I Got The OG From A Year Ago Along With OG Carmine VI By Winning The Auction
Durabuck is a synthetic material that was easier to clean and maintained its structure better than full-grain leather, but I wouldn’t say it was a “quality” material. Synthetic leathers and suedes are what most Air Jordan’s are made of. The AJ3 was really the last shoe that Nike made that implemented decent leather. They eventually went back to full-grain leathers and suedes with the AJ12, mainly because the “Jordan Brand” was suppose to represent luxury sportswear. After the AJ18, it was back to synthetic materials. Durabuck, was mainly used because real leather stretches and loses it shape after repetitive wear and tear, as well as heat.
@@darnayblue3081 True And Thank You For Explain That To Me
Love much love!
Best video ever!!!!!!
Haha thanks man, greatest shoe ever!
@@ogorbust1697 u got it brother!! 🙏
Appreciate you man!😎🥃
Thank you, I appreciate you tuning in!🙏🏻
This video here tho, BEAUTIFUL! 💯
Thank you! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I searched internet so many times looking for a comparison of the ankle indention you spoke about. I don't have my OG 6's anymore to compare but I used to think the material inside the indention was a separate piece that included the pod and was stitched into the ankle mold. Was this just clever stitching to give it the illusion of depth? I noticed all the retros got lazy here and just stitched the original shape of the indention as you pointed out. Thank you for this great video! I had that 91 hat as well!
Thanks for watching, I really appreciate it! Actually the molding process of the heel is why the indentation is so pronounced as well as the flat finish that looks like leather almost. Its the same durabuck material but heated when molded and has An amazing finish. Makes sense too as it is more durable at heel. The execution and detail is just beautiful, a work of art.
@@ogorbust1697 so on the OG specifically, the area around the ankle pod and inside the indention, is this a separate piece of nubuck or is the entire heel to ankle/pod area a single piece of material?
@@plaguey23 thats a good question, I think it's a single piece but interesting that its stitched around after molded.
Your mom is a legend for that
Right!? Forever grateful, this beat up pair will be with me forever lol
More videos!!!!!! 😀
You should have your o.g. shoes wrapped in plastic to help hold all the materials together
I'm a firm believer in letting the uppers breathe. If wrapped you can't condition and they could dry and crack. Polyurethane pairs will crack either way. Plastic looks bad and can't really enjoy them that way, looks like shoe condoms lol
Can you show us how you did the white lining on the jordan 6s? I wanna do it to my pair 🙌🏼🙏🏼
Sure thing! I could do that soon, thanks for tuning in!
@@ogorbust1697 awesome ! 🙌🏼
I was born in 2000 when they came back as a retro in 2000
hey guys can someone share a link with me to buy a pair of these? i live in Suriname and they dont have stores here that sell originals
Was the old durabuck softer when it was new? I definitely feel like it's higher quality
I think its fair to say that. Many times you see people trying to wear vintage pairs with durabuck and it chips and flakes. It was really smooth and soft, light and flexible was the thought for the material. The OG just fit like a glove, so sleek and formed to your foot unlike retros.
..to add about the softness, sometimes I get a pair that is dry and I do condition it with mink oil spray. I use the spray can that I showed in the aj1 85 collection video I posted, great stuff. My flight lite ii I recently got felt really dry and have hit them with the spray a few times and seems to help. Wouldn't dare to wear but will definitely help with preservation.
@@ogorbust1697 That's actually important, I was wondering how to make sure my 99 bred 4s stayed in good shape. I didn't realize you could use a regular leather conditioner to moisturize it. Thanks for the info
@@baker8981 Leather lotion is another story, not for suede nubuck or durabuck. The Angelus mink oil spray is what you want to use.
That’s What I’m Saying Durabuck Was The Best Material Out Of OGs
Serious question, why can’t JB get the overall shoe/toe shape of retros to resemble the OGs? Surely it’s not a technological limitation. Maybe regulatory? I don’t understand lol
They Too Lazy As Hell Making The Materials For The Modern Day Retros Looking Cheap & Generic While OGs Made Quality Jordans Either Synthetic Leather Or Durabuck Material I Glad That I Collect OGs No Matter How Bad The Shoe Is Once You Restore Em They’ll Make 100x Better Than These Retros They Put Out
Does anyone know how these felt back in 91, and if you could please compare the cushioning to something like today
As my 2000 and 2019 pairs are still DS, I do wear the 2014 pair. OG was just more fitted and cushioning was definitely better on the original. You have to remember the original shoes were made to play basketball and today's retros are more for casual wear.
@@ogorbust1697 Dang, it wouldnt kill JB to use open cell polyurethane
@@gshockvon agreed 110% man just switch back who cares. They put out the same shoe every 4-5 years anyway. There should be no crumbling until like 8-10 years I believe or longer.
@@gshockvon The open cell poly is ok but it doesn’t hold up that great over time and is the reason these shoes crumble. The open cell was a little bit more comfortable but it was the air units they use to use that made the most difference in comfort. Nike used a little bit bigger air units and they were filled with a different gas which I can’t remember atm what it was but about 04 or 05 Nike switched over to these cheap environmentally friendly air units which are trash and ever since then Jordan’s and Nike’s haven’t been as comfortable. Just go back and look at some of the air max from the 90’s and early 2000’s and compare them to the ones you see now and you can clearly see the size difference in them.Another big reason the older Nike’s were comfortable was the insoles they use to use that were a lot thicker and made from a different material
Yea next retro should def be leather
💯 I'd love to see it!
In 1991, I was 14 years old and wore US7.5 aj6 black and red like you. Now I am 47 years old and you wear US10.5. But I grew up half a size and I wear US8. Why is God so unfair?
Haha interesting man, I'm an 11 now. Some models I do 10.5 like the aj 6 run a little big
Who plays this guitar? you?
Yep, guitar I played in all my youtube videos
@@ogorbust1697 I thought so, diging them all bro, Nike/Jordan + Guitar? Say no more!
@@dadasha thanks man! I appreciate it
