The actual start of the comparison starts at 11:06 of the video. Thank you for watching!!

[@jordanthomas3955]

I think you should start expressing your opinion on which pair YOU prefer to wear In these comparison videos... I'm just curious to see

[@mjo23dan]

Jordan Thomas other than the OG, I would rank it 2000 then 2019 then 2014

[@GG-uc9xq]

GREAT VIDEO MJO23DAN👍👌👊 I JUST MOVED TO SAC FROM SAN JOSE!!! I COPPED A PAIR OF THE 2019s. STILL WAITING ON UPS 🙄 GLAD I FOUND UR CHANNEL. PEACE ✌

[@NoUseForAName0626]

So on the OG's did you say that the bottom was replaced? Where would I get that done? I have the same color way (6's) from 2009, But the bottoms are really starting to yellow.. but the rest of the shoe is in perfect condition. If I could get them restored with the clear bottoms again that'd be so awesome!!

[@mjo23dan]

@@NoUseForAName0626 search youtube for unyellowing clear soles and some people will mention a sauce. It's basically salon care 40 which you can get at the store. Lots of tutorials on youtube on unyellowing. Processes are almost all the same.

[@floaton5988]

i know for a fact ill watch this video 5 times in a row for the nostalgia. I dont care how beat a OG is , its still The OG.

[@roddyredhorse1194]

Thanks for bringing back memories...I was 10 when the OG infrared came out...I had the fire/red 5s but the 6’s got me hooked...I went to my brothers b-ball practice and some kid cane in with these on and I couldn’t take my eyes off them...my older bro ended up getting the Maroons and we filled out the flight club card...man this shoe is timeless...def getting a pair of these next week...thanks again

[@moebang7599]

I can remember my mother surprising me with OG's I was so happy I slept with the shoe. I would stare at them for hours. I can honestly say that the feeling putting those original Jordan's on was a feeling as if you were able to do anything. The quality was there and they looked so much better broken in. I still have a pick in 91-92 with these on feet. My all time favorite sneaker!!!

[@time2ballup566]

Was looking forward to this! An amazing in-depth comparison, as always.

[@843daravens]

We appreciate all the time and effort you put in for this vid, MJO for the win!

[@davidca96]

I had the og's in 1991, I wish I had kept them I loved them. Retro's dont feel or look the same, especially the toe they dont make the toe with the hard support like the originals had.

[@rccharger21]

GREAT comparison! These vids will keep me coming back as long as you do them. Absolutely love them! You can tell how much work went into this and you deserve props for that! Keep it up, man! Great job!

[@mjo23dan]

Thanks bro

[@Quickscxping]

The thick Nike font looks so much better. The thin font on the 19 is pretty disappointing tbh.

[@Greg3468]

I'm with ya on that one man. It really does look a lot better with the thicker font/stitching. It's also pretty crazy how the jumpman logo has been refined over the years and now looks a hell of a lot better.

[@yxngtipofficial]

Quickscxping 2000s release still the best

[@rootstriker1618]

Quickscxping i know! An it had more of a contrast against the heel to! But the 2019 pair ain’t bad at all I’m not complaining just happy they got the red better because the 2014 red is wack af reason why i passed on those

[@chuy8356]

I agree, the thick stitching looks way better.

[@KayKashi]

Quickscxping the 2019 is perfect besides the font

[@TracksideViews]

Thanks for making these videos man!

[@donnellwilson1215]

Another great session of Air Jordan history. Always appreciated.

[@Nicoda1st]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Love these comparisons! You definitely earned the subscription.

[@dicksonli725]

Always like your videos, every one is done with so much heart!

[@AdamHellersneakerfreak]

What so many people fail to realize is that Jordan brand needs to keep making minor changes from 1 retro to the next for several reasons but 2 main reasons in particular: 1.) To distinguish one from the next. People, especially who collect, need to be able to distinguish from 1 retro to the next at a glance. It's a lot more difficult to scam someone who knows exactly what to look for. You can't tell a collector you're selling them a '91 pair when just at a glance they can tell they're obviously a 2000 pair. And..... 2.) To keep people buying the same pair of sneakers every 5-10 years. If the 2019 pair was exactly the same as the 2014 nobody who owns a decent pair of the '14s would have any reason to buy a pair of '19s. I have 2 pairs of the '14s and I loved them pink and all. And I'll definitely be getting at least 2 pairs of the '19s. I remember being 13 years old when the originals released and there was a foreign exchange student from Turkey at my school that got all of the coolest sneakers including these. This was the first sneaker I ever fell in love with and started me out as a sneakerhead 28 years ago. And it's still my favorite sneaker of all time to this day. I really appreciate your videos, especially the OG to retro comparison videos. Keep doing what you do. The younger generation could really use some sneaker history lessons and for us old heads it's just a great reminder of a time when this sneaker game was new and fun and we didn't all know everything about colors and material quality and everything else...... we just loved the shoes.

[@mjo23dan]

Thank you for watching Adam and for leaving your input. Appreciate your support 👍

[@philipkj4]

I agree 100%. But I also buy them because the old ones will disintegrate the midsole so I don't wear them if they are over 3-4 years old.

[@AdamHellersneakerfreak]

@@philipkj4 yes that too. Although I do have a couple 10+ year old pairs that are still hanging on but I also have some from 2012-2014 that are crumbling pretty bad.

[@KayKashi]

Adam Heller if you can’t tell a 3 month old shoe from a 28 year old shoe at a glance then...

[@gerardotello2951]

Great video! I can’t wait to get my pair next week!

[@wmendez3]

Dude ur the best ever. U really do deep dives and I appreciate it. U get so detailed.

[@wmendez3]

I have a quick question. Do u have the Jordan 6 white infrared and the white varsity ones they released in the same year in 2010. I think one came in a pack. I was wondering which one had better leather quality

[@Greg3468]

Dope vid bro. My very 1st pair of J's were the maroon & white back in 91' and I couldn't wait to wear them. I now can't wait to get my pair of these next week. Looks like they did a good job on the color.

hi mjo23dan, a blessed day to you, love your contents, reviews, comparisons & videos, God bless you always, 🙏

[@DashDrones]

So weird, I had the 91 OGs when I was a kid and mine had the covering over the tongue too. Man I was in love with those shoes, wish I kept them 😰

[@abriceno7446]

Another great vid/comparison.

[@canyonsuede]

The durabuck we feel on OGs now has changed so much due to age it feels rough and stiff, but back in the day was soft and stretchy enough to wrap the foot. I remember it vividly on the originals my parents bought me as a kid. Durable yet very flexible so a perfect combo for performance and comfort. That may be why on the VI it's only used on the forefoot and scrapped for the heel cup. Made OGs comfortable and versatile instead of the stiff lifestyle boot they put out now.

[@VintageDonny216]

I Had Em Since Months Old In 1991 Durabuck Made The Quality Jordans $125 Was Alot Of Money Back In The Day No Cell Phones Internet Or Standing In Line For Em.....Almost 2 Years I Won That Auction For OG Black Infrared Along With OG Carmine VI The Regular Midsoles Was Cracked & Gone Til I Soleswapped Em Last Year In May And Still In Fair Condition

[@beans_2]

The specifications of the 2000 pair is so much nicer than any other edition after that

[@luisivantagufa8630]

Love you're videos man Keep it up 👌👌

[@robchesley4591]

That shoe was such a big deal in my life in 91.. I sat an looked at the ad for months. A few kids at school had them. The nostalgia never gets old. The design still brings back those feelings.

[@JMar032189]

Dope vid Marv! I see you matching with that shirt too. Fresh lol

[@tnavarrete1981]

[@AMG28]

👏👏 Congratulations Marvin ... Nice video

[@KevinWei24]

I was 11 almost 12 when I first saw the Jordan 6 black infrared. It was too late to get my own pair because it was late 1991. The shoe's been retroed a few times and I kept missing out on them. I can't wait until they come out again. I will be saving and keeping an eye out for them.

[@Gyzmochan]

Great video and nice music.

[@samroman7704]

thats the best comparison ive seen

[@Kirarton]

I still own my pamphlet from my og pair from 1991 that I used to have back in the day when I was a kid. Can't wait till next saturday to cop my pair, absolutely love these

[@travisscott605]

What's pamphlet

[@Tealtown408]

Had the 2014 and now the 2019 and I will say al around the 2014 feels cheaper quality wise than the 2019. TTS if anyone is interested in copping. 2014 pair felt very snug TTS and 2019 feel like there is a little more room but still would go TTS all day. Favorite 6 ever still. Great video excellent analysis

[@MaliBall]

I'm using the Nike side of the lacelock no question! Great review 💯

[@philipkj4]

Great review. I always felt the regular 2010 release that was Black/Varsity 384664 061 (not the defining moments ones) red was closer to the original color red. They stand out to me when you have all the retro's out at once.

[@sofa_kingcool985]

The year was 1991, I was a 6th grader in elementary school but my dad and I loved watching the NBA together, especially because of Michael Jeffrey Jordan dominating the scene. Long story short, I still have a pair of brand new, never tried on, Infrared ‘91 Jordan’s from my childhood size 10 that HAS this neoprene lining covering the tongue as shown in this video 🤯😱 I always thought they were odd so it’s great to see there’s someone else who has them! 🤪👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@mjo23dan]

Amazing! Would you ever sell it?

[@wavyheat305]

Or make a video of them??

[@DarthVizzle]

Dope, dope, dope video bro!!

[@TheImpalaman96]

Back in 91..my friend and myself had the 2 different tongues. I had the version without the fabric, his started to fray. My 2000 pair is still looking good, but the shape is different and the toebox is starting to crack unfortunately. Waiting on the 2019 pair......I got to have all my Infrared 6s with the Nike on the back

[@Johhndoe815]

In my opinion the 2019 pair looks better then all the other pairs!

[@mk4geo822]

John Doe I’ve seen the new release in person... the ‘infrared’ looks orange. That hot pink infrared has always been the best infrared to me.

[@flexgado249]

1030 Geo the 1991 infrared is the same color as the 2019 I got all the infrared ever release

[@romain198426]

Nope the 2010 pair

[@moneymarc6837]

I Have all of them... and each one has some thing different... I collect JORDAN 'S !!!! THE GREATEST BALL PLAYER.... TO TOUCH THE ROCK!!!! BX...183RD!!!!

[@xxraverxxonxtacy]

Nice vid, I would probably have swapped the 2014 for the 2010 from the pack since it's closer to the shade of infrared instead of infrapink.

[@drneilnurmbreg3505]

I got a pair of fives and there like wearing boots compared to today's light weight shoes,I will save them for winter

[@rolandbaron5813]

This shows that even retail to retail pairs can be inconsistent. Great comparison.

[@jonathankulesa]

If you've got a pair of the 2010 Varsity Reds, you should make a video comparing them as well... I know they're not Infrareds, but man, those were pure fire and the quality was just excellent... Best pair of 6's ever in my opinion... Great vid by the way...

[@theirishman088]

My best friend got the original 6s when we were in elementary. my family couldn't afford them at the time and he was nice enough to give me the box and I still have it to this day.

Love your comparisons with OGs bro or any comparison you do in general. I must say that my favorite from the retros are the 2000 infrareds. Most definitely the best shoe with color and overall shape that ISN'T the OGs.

[@damienjeremyweir4543]

Ive always wondered why they put hard glossy cardboard under the insole. My white Infrared 6 featured it too.

[@romahnae]

this video made me appreciate the varsity reds even more... 🤔 ...i was thinking of doubling up on the 2019s (something i rarely do) but, i might do so with the varsity reds 😕 🤔.... . ... .. .

[@MaliBall]

My 2014s are painted varsity red. I'm thinking about buying a 2nd pair of my 2019s and having it done to those as well. It's the best look.

[@ThatGuyInPhilly]

I had these in 1991 when they first came out...beat them to death. Had the 2014 rerelease, but sold them. I found these 2019 at a Platos Closet last year, great condition (Some yellowing on bottom clear soles, sides...was able to ice them back up last Summer) I grabbed them. BUT, I WAS concerned about that back "NIKE AIR" logo, thinking "This is way off...ugh, a fake!?" After diving into photos, other YT videos..yeah these had that thinner Nike logo font. Got them legit checked also and everything is fine. Sure, I love the thick Nike font much better...but oh well, not a big deal. Just pretty thrilled to have these back again!

[@BigSparky1316]

JB put the white film mixed with the glue to hide the imperfections on the midsole and make it look more of a solid piece instead of looking see through

[@sdawg4834]

Definitely prefer the fonts of the OG pairs. The good thing about the 2019 infrared colorway is that your not going to see the crappy font kinda like the Maroon 6's. The crappy embroidering of the nike air logos on the retros were a bummer

[@patj7007]

Great vid and great Jordan t shirt. Aren’t the Toro 4’s durabuck too?

Funny you said if you have a 2014 don't need to buy the 2019 when I just sold my 2014 to replace it with the 2019 next week.. God willing I score a pair lol. My reasoning was more for a darker pink shade but more importantly how my 2014 pair fit so big! I hated having to put an extra insole just so I can wear them. Hearing mixed views on how 2019 fits the same or is TTS. I know everyone's foots different but I might just try .5 down so they fit better.

Wish the 2000 or the DMP 6 heal could’ve been duplicated at least. I had the 2000 and I loved that feature. They made a 2016 Metallic 5 sample that had contrast similar to the 1990. They can do it. Some of the 2019 pairs do have the contrast though. It varies. One of my shoes kinda have it.
