I passed on these even tho they look amazing. I still have my 2014s that are icy and in great condition. Probably should have picked them up but maybe down the line.

Yeah the midsoles are shot on this pair but the Upper Durabuck is still in tact. I was wondering if you wear them if it would chip/Peel?

Do 6's midsole crack easily? I ask because my NA Infrared 6's from 2019 have been holding up really well, considering I rock them a few times a month.

They shouldn't crack with the newer retros. I have worn mine in to the ground and the paint is all in tact.

The ones from 2008 onward hold-up good. All of the ones before do crumble.

I never saw these 6's in person (in my hands). I always loved my 2000 Infrareds. I took my 2000 Infrareds today while I went to stores to look at them in person.
I am a Jordan lover and wearer since 1996. I lived through some of the best 1st generation retros when the quality and shape was amazing. As a person growing up in the 90's and 2000's, the shape of the jordans were sleek and done right. The bulky look was not something people really liked back then. When the 6's released back in August of 2000. It was the best sneaker to go to 1st day of school with. The quality, the material, the finish, "THE SHAPE". It was everything you can wish for as a sneakerhead / collector. I am so glad I was into rock one and stock one back in 99.
Back to today - So I went into Footlocker , Footaction & Finishline to look at the infrared VI's, I knew there were some remaining.
COLOR - The color was the same as the 2014 (InfraPink). These are not infrared. If the 1991 was not pinkish. It was red. It was a very vibrant red. I remember them because my brother bought them in 1991.
SHAPE - Boy are these some bulky boots. You think you getting a nice toe box and sleek look. WRONG, these are just some hard material wide bulky sneaker that contours nothing to your foot. Unless you have some really fat foot, you will be swimming in them. 2000 Pair fits nice and snug on your foot and are very light.
COMFORT - These were very uncomfortable to walk in. I am not sure who said these are comfortable. 2000 Pair are like walking on air and you feel the nice soft midsole / Air unit.
FINISH - These 2019 pair were so sloppy with the paint, I didn't notice much glue marks all over, but the paint job on these are disastrous. The paint on the midsole design is bleeding over. Some heels had the red visible underneath the black paint. You have to be kidding me that you people are willing to pay $200+ for these. If had a taste of the 2000 pair, you would instantly return these.
The Manager at Footlocker along with some associates were amazed that I had the 2000 Infrared's DS still. He also asked what I think about the new release. He asked if I could take it out to compare and looked at the 2019's and also agreed with me. He explained that majority of the pairs were bought by the same resellers.
At the end of the day, there is a hand full of people who would understand what I am saying and they were on Niketalk back in 1999. Ya'll now generation sneakerheads see these as grails.. im sorry, the reason why the infrared 6's were considered grails is because of the the beauty behind that retro in 2000. It was a masterpiece. It was worth more then $500 for a reason. Now I am glad I walked away from these. wouldn't buy them at all.
This was just an opinion from an dude who wore Jay's back in the day when there was no such things as lines or hype. This forum allows me to speak my mind. I from time to time read y'all comments and see what the current trends are. Please don't troll me or take any offense, this is to give you an account from a person who loves the "Black / Deep Infrared" 6's

I've owned 3 pairs of the 2000 infrared and currently own 2.
They're butchered as hell compared to the 1991 OG.

2019’s have aged INCREDIBLY well. I swear my pair looks better the more I wear them. Once the icy blue tint disappears and the sole become slightly tinged yellow

The 2014s are indestructible (not in a good way either), they are so stiff and solid. I tried to drive over a pair in my car and totalled my car. The shoes were still perfect

Which edition are you referring to as butchered as hell? 2000 or 2019?

2000
Different shape
Different materials
No 3M
Wrong shade of Infrared
Wrong insole color
Fat ankle pods
Look at them side by side with the 1991 and you can tell JB just made a "Modern" version for that time. (the year 2000) I feel like they were made for that era, early 2000s and they weren't made to be exact like the OGs.

I agree 110% they were way off compared to the 91 pair for sure.
