The Drop
The Jordan 6 Retro "Infrared Salesman" (CT8529-001) flips the script on the iconic Infrared colorway with a reverse blocking scheme—black nubuck base with infrared accents hitting the midsole, lace lock, and heel tab. This wasn't your typical Footlocker Saturday drop; it's a sample or regional release that sneaks into resell channels with limited fanfare but strong Jordan 6 pedigree. The silhouette still carries Tinker Hatfield's '90s legacy, just dressed down for the heads who know.
Resell Verdict
Fair market sits around $186, with asks ranging $137–$311 depending on size and condition. Weekly order volume (2700+ transactions) signals steady demand, but this isn't hype-spike territory—it's a stable flip for quick turnarounds. Resell trajectory is flat; no major collector FOMO, just consistent Jordan brand equity. Profit margins are thin unless you source below $150, aber für Bulk-Flips macht's Sinn.
Fake Tells
- ▸Nubuck texture: Reps often use suede that's too fuzzy or plasticky; authentic pairs have tight, uniform nubuck
- ▸Infrared midsole paint: Fakes bleed pink or orange; OG hue is vivid red with clean edges
- ▸Jumpman tongue embroidery: Check stitch density and symmetry—bootlegs skip detail on the basketball stitching
Who It's For
Casual Jordan collectors chasing wearable colorways without paying Travis Scott tax. Perfect for daily rotation—streetwear fit, not trophy case energy.
Sizing & Fit
Jordan 6 runs true to size; wide-footers may want to go up half for comfort around the molded heel cup.
