The weird thing is I didn't even start hearing all this "toro" nonsense until the 4s. Most people I knew called the 5s "raging bulls", dmp 5s, or just "red suede 5s"

it is a hypebeast thing though. toro is associated with NO shoes other than that pack. period. That's like saying someone calling the white/black low 11s "reverse concords" isn't hypebeast when there is no concord on the shoe. They might think it's loosely related, but really those nicknames are just entirely wrong.
It was named toro because the toro IVs was the last all red release we got and thats the first relation people made with the all red color of these.
The name infrared 23 recently surfaced...
Its not a hypebeast thing, just an assumption based off of a relation.
or they are both GR so they can take all your money.I see these being the QS since both 6s are releasing that day
you might just be on to something thereInstead of dropping 400k of OG 6s they gone split it down the middle and do 200k a Colorway for the 15th
My opinion
Yea I saw that. That's what I think tooIf you look at hoh sight they have multiple cw 6's coming on the 15th so i think they will
This whole time i kept wishing, hoping, praying that this wouldnt happen. Damn that sucks. (if true)Talked to multiple FTL managers and a rep for NDC. Ofcourse they couldn't give me details but they said that the infrared 6s will be GR and everywhere should be getting them but the infrared23s are LIMITED and they wouldn't even confirm if HOHs would be getting them
It shouldnt be a surprise that the infa 23s are limited, sound like those who want them better put their raffle shoes onTalked to multiple FTL managers and a rep for NDC.

Tha last Infrared was a bit darker in 2010. I'm not sure if they have an Exact Replica of the OG Infrared Color from 25 yrs ago, but they've tried to get it right.
Th Shade of Infrared just looks alot better this year. I just got a pair of "Infrared" Nike Air Max Lunar 90's... the shade (I'm pretty sure) is the exact same as the ones used on these Air Jordan VI's... it's just overall alot closer to the Original Shade used in the Late 80s/Early 90s.
On the topic of Contrast, I believe the shade of "Infrared" looks different on the THESE VI's primarily because of the "Surface" I was referring to. The Infrared on these VI's is used on Leather (or what Nike calls leather, Lol), which has a slight gloss & texture underneath the base... while the Infrared is used on the Midsole of the 3LAB5, while also being set in between a Black setting.
It's just Subtleties, bro... but they definitely make a visual difference when looked at in context. It works the same way with the Clothes We Wear... the color has a different visual effect based on the Skin Color it lays atop of.
I'm no afficionado or anything, I just know a little bit because I had to study Color in Art School.
Well if thats the only Toro they know theyre gonna call these Toro too. Its just a relation people make from what they know.it is a hypebeast thing though. toro is associated with NO shoes other than that pack. period.

Yea that's what I was expecting with the infrared23s. I'm gonna sign up for all raffles I can. Unfortunately the closest HOH to me is 40min awayIt shouldnt be a surprise that the infa 23s are limited, sound like those who want them better put their raffle shoes on
Ey bro... you do realize that YOU ASKED ME QUESTIONS, right? I was just answering them.I mean, you're the one that took an art class and I didn't. Like I said in my previous post, what you're saying makes a lot of sense. I was just replying with my two cents, my perspective on the color scheme. At the end of the day, I could care less what the actual colors are as long as the infrared 23 6's look red like in the picture's and the white/infrared 6's look the way they do in their respective pictures because I like how both look in the pictures floating around the net. I'd be disappointed if I were to be surprised in the wrong way.
