today we're going to be reviewing the 2021 air jordan 6 carmine i have the 2008 pair the 2014
pair and the newer retro right here we're gonna look at styles cuts materials everything about
the shoes and i'll let you guys know what i think about it we'll check out some results
see what everybody else says as well so let's go ahead and get into the video

get started with the shoe we need to talk about the history and why there is so much nostalgic
vibes when it comes to this retro especially with the nike air on the back michael jordan came into
the league in 1985 with his own air jordan 1 and from then every single year he had his new shoe
the jordan 2 the jordan 3 the jordan 4 the jordan 5 and then we got the jordan 6. that was the year
that he won his first championship in 1991 so for jordan winning his first championship in this
model right here it was already an iconic thing as you remember him with the championship trophy
with the team and him wearing him in that photo or seeing him on court playing against other players
throughout the season everybody knew that jordan infrared 6 was one of the most iconic sneakers
of that time and i think that he wore that shoe just a little bit more but that's okay
because everybody knew about this shoe as well i have always seen debates between people talking
about which shoe is better the infrareds or the car mines me personally i appreciate and love
both of them and i want each and every retro in each and every version of both of those shoes
and speaking of that we do have a slight problem i no longer have the original pair which should
have been right here they got stolen from me when i was in college i had an og pair from way back
in the day i found them out of dunk exchange the dude only wanted like 40 bucks for them
i got him for a great deal i was super super excited to have the shoe and then when i
transferred schools and my stuff was supposed to get shipped my shoes never came in the mail
it is what it is you got to chalk the l up to the game but let's go ahead and get into this review
so the first thing that i'm going to do is break down this sneaker give you guys a quick look
i don't need to spend too much time on it because it's pretty obvious but as you can
see right here from the outsole you have your classic air jordan 6 outsole you got your red
jumpman with your translucent pods here with the white hits around the middle of the foot as well
working up to the midsole same thing white and black vibes with the translucent icy soles you got
a white air unit and onto the upper i think this is something actually let's rewind just one second
because i forgot to mention the midsole there have been a lot of problems with the midsole
luckily i was able to get a pair that didn't have pink midsoles but as you can see from some
of these photos right here there have been a lot of issues with manufacturing some people thought
the upper was bleeding onto the shoe but that's something that takes a whole lot of time to happen
it was actually in the process of creating the midsole where they messed up and they
still ended up putting them out in production and sending them out hopefully to sell them for retail
but then they all got recalled and sent back so everybody for example say there was 250 000 pairs
they could have potentially messed up on 50 000 pairs and then had to send those back so now the
market is only able to buy 200 000 pairs this is all hypothetical numbers i don't know the exact
numbers for how many pairs were made of this shoe right here but i know a lot more people would have
had the opportunity to get the shoe if they didn't have an issue with the midsole and like the stuff
that i showed you in the pictures right there now going to the upper when i touch the materials and
feel everything i'm really not mad at it i think they did a solid job and this is something that
i will be comparing to the previous retro from 2014 just kind of showing you guys the difference
between the two i'm not sure if you're going to be able to tell from the images or from the video
but i'm telling you right now i think the quality of this version is way better than
the 2014 version just on the in-hand feel of the leather and then how the materials feel on the
nubuck and everything like that again let me know what you think down below in the comment section
if you have both pairs in your collection we'll get into that in a second though now let's talk
about the final part of this sneaker that i think everyone is raving about and that is the nike air
on the back of the shoe this hit right here is just so amazing i know the jumpman is cool and all
but having the nike air on a classic with the og colorway and everything bruh i don't care if they
mess up well okay i do care if they mess up on the materials and everything but just the nostalgia
behind it bringing back those vibes i just love it so much okay so i have all three sneakers right
here 2021 2014 and 2008 and i want to point out a couple things i know we got some obvious stuff
like as you can see jumpman jumpman nike air right so the original from 1991 had the nike air and now
on the third retro we got the nike air back so i think that alone allows this sneaker to be at
the top of the charts when it comes to comparing against this one or against this one and some of
you may know i post a poll on instagram all the time for these videos to see what everybody else
thinks as well not just giving you my opinion but see what the audience thinks as well
so if you haven't already make sure you follow me on ig so that way you can participate in the polls
in the future so when i ask the people which one do you like more the 2014 or the 2021 retro this
is what they said 68 of the people chose the 2021 and 32 percent of the people chose the 2014. that
completely makes sense in my eyes because the nike air on the back and the materials on the
2021 retro is just so much better than the 2014 i think in this era of 2014 2013 2015 when they
were releasing all those different sixes around that time they just had a bad batch i just think
everything that they released around that time it was cool it was nostalgic but it just wasn't what
everybody wanted and i almost think that hurt the jordan 6 for the nostalgia vibes because not too
many people fell in love with those models because of the materials and how the shoes were made which
we can have a whole another conversation about the air jordan 6 as you guys know this is my favorite
model but that's a whole nother topic so back on track when it comes to the 2021 versus the 2008
i can't say i was surprised but i understand that 29 of the people that chose the 2008 because i
also choose this one if i could have the nike air on this shoe this model obviously time with aging
and everything like that is a factor for people but say this had the brand new icy soul but with
these materials and this cut of this shoe i think i would personally rock with this one a little bit
more if it had the nike air compared to the newer retro i don't know what it is but this 2008 pair
bruh that was just like i don't know they were just so fire and i think everybody that owned a
pair in that time knows what i'm talking about so for me right now in this current day and
time i would have to choose the 2021 simply because of aging and other factors like that
and not having the nike air but i'm telling you right now if they release this model like this
in the same time in the same era and everything oh yeah i would definitely go with this version so
let's talk about numbers and everything like that because i know people always have that question we
always save it towards the end of the video as of right now this pair right here is going for
roughly around mid 300 this pair is going to go around low 300 dollars and this pair is going to
be mid 200s i think when it comes over time this pair right here the 2021 pair is going to rise in
value and it could potentially be that 350 sneaker just like the countdown pack pair right here
i know not everybody likes air jordan 6's but i'm telling you right now the history
the nostalgias the nike air everything behind this shoe right here there is definitely a lot
to this story and why this shoe is so great and i know everybody might not be on the hype train
and all those things but when it comes to actual i can't say actual collectors but when it comes to
sneaker heads that really appreciate i don't even know what type of words to use these days because
everybody's so critical about what you say either way i think the older heads just really appreciate
the shoe a lot and they're going to respect it either way and they're gonna cause this price
to go up over time because as they continue to rock them right now later down the line they're
gonna want a crispy pair with that nike hair and i definitely seen a lot of people buying
two or three pairs of this shoe for their collection i was only able to get one i'm already
on the hunt for a couple more pairs because i definitely need multiples of this shoe i love the
air jordan 6 i'm always rocking a pair of sixes in my rotation so this has to go back in my rotation
i used to wear these a lot and i've had multiple pairs of these i finally got a pair left on ice
i even wore this pair a couple times i'm not even gonna lie to you i have to clean them back up but
i'm trying to preserve them because i wasn't sure if these was gonna retro again okay now i'm just
rambling either way i love this shoe i hope you guys appreciated this video let me know what you
think down below in the comment section were you able to get a pair are you willing to pay resale
are you trying to wait till they go down are they going to go up in value what did you think about
the midsoles and the issues did you get a pair with a pink sole did you have to return them
i got a bunch of questions hopefully you guys got the answers for me down below i just want
to hear you guys as part of it as well you know with the drop and everything about it like that
i know there's a lot of retros coming out this year but me personally i think this is a must-have
for 2021 pickups and it's just such an amazing shoe we saw fire red fours with the nike air and
we saw fire red fives with the nike air and to get the carmine sixes with the nike air back in the
rotation yeah i'm a happy camper so that's gonna do it for me i'll see you guys in another video
