Infrared was used to switch things up. Just like when they used Cardinal Red for the VII's.
Good looks on the Space Jam info.

late 80's-mid 90's was all about neon wild colors...i think everyone went wild because technology allowed manufacturers to use neon colors for da first time i can remember...i never
seen pics of anyone sporting neon anything in prior decades from pics so im assuming thats da case
so you saw vibrant releases from air jordans, Andre Agassi, da air max series, Bo Jackson, David Robinson, etc. all across da board.
Don't forget the Hypercolor t-shirts to go along with the kicks!

Oh yeah, I know, just thought there was more to the "Infrared" story, maybe because of the success of the AM 90...
But I guess there's no back story. It was just the style.
But yeah, the 90's were the "Neon Years"
yeah I knew about the use of Neon colors to coincide with fashion in the early 90's. But I never got them using such a pinkish color such as Infrared. Infrareds were the only Jordans that had red that didnt match his uniform. Im honestly surprised they didnt make a Grape or Neon Green colorway.
90's was less about "matchin" da way its is known now and more about color "complimentation" to give it that extra "flava"
in today's world people look at ALL da colors and figure they gotta match everything....that frankly wasn't done back then, you was
"doing it" if your hat match your shoes....looking at jordan in da mid 90's between 1990-1993 is da wildest colors, after da concords
came out everything was became uniform and conservative colorwise...
hence my problem with these varsity red VI's, if your gonna dip into that "era" do it right, only reason i loved da VI's is cuz da infrared
colorway, all da other colors didn't stir that "damn i gotta come outta pocket for those ASAP"...i always felt da VI's Achilles heel was dafact
that da white leather versions paled in comparison to da black durabuck versions....and this was da common mindset with alot of folks back then
people would peep da new jordans, get da regular season ones on sale & get da "black playoff" version asap.
i'll accept these as just a retro + color for people that always thought of infrared as "too bright" for they taste, but for da aficionados &
purist these aren't gonna ever cut it.
alot of what ticks me off is that JB starved us for VI's for so long and when its time for em to drop sans da VI's stuck in packs which were
marvelous, we got shafted for a good decade, and i can see people why alot of ya getting this version, ya just settling.

Ninjahood's right, as a older head or OG as you dudes call it ...lol
Back in the early 90's bright colors and colors were in, you had Cross Colours, Karl Kani, Maurice Malone etc. etc.. I never did it, but dudes had brightorange and green jeans. Infrared gave the VI's that flare like the clear soles. That's why you have aquas, grapes and infrareds for that time period.
That matching and outfit stuff is a recent trend, that's why I still think it's gay, because it's gay dudes who were concerned about matching. Youcould be fly, but that was over boad. Now everyone buys kicks and worries about what to wear with it. Dudes buy clothes for other men. Dudes judge what othermen have on. That's what women and gay dudes did, being overly meticulous is was what gay dudes did. Men bought clothes, women bought outfits, then theterm metrosexual came about and it's more acceptable.
