Air Jordan 6

The Air Jordan 6 is one of the most popular silhouettes of the original Jordan line. The sneaker first debuted in 1991, another creation of legendary designer Tinker Hatfield. The Jordan 6 was the shoe that took Michael Jordan all the way to his first NBA championship, which he won versus Magic Johnson and the LA Lakers. 

The Jordan 6 is one of the better classic Jordan models performance-wise. The Air Jordan 6 features improved cushioning, compared to the Air Jordan 5, and can easily be enhanced with an insole swap. The shoe offers many great attributes and all the nostalgic 90s flavor you can handle. 

AVERAGE RETAIL PRICE: $190

The Air Jordan 6 Retro in White/ Dark Navy- Red Will Not be Releasing

The Air Jordan 6 Retro in White/ Dark Navy – Red was a super clean looking pair of kicks that will never make it to retail… at least not anytime soon. Looks like it was just a special project that Jordan Brand was working on… but I’m sure we’ll see Drake rock a pair eventually.   FYI: The ‘White/Red-Dark Blue’

Air Jordan 6 Retro ‘Oreo’

Looks like the Oreo theme will be returning on the Air Jordan 6 but they’ll blackout the uppers on this next installment. I really like the original Oreo 6’s and these look great as well. Something about a 6 in black that just looks better than the white versions… not sure if that’s just me or if others share the

Our first real look at the upcoming Air Jordan 6 Retro in the Black/ Infrared colorway has arrived.

Air Jordan 6 Retro ‘World Cup’ Pack – Detailed Images

I have to say… I wish these types of materials were implemented with all Retro models. Now, with that out of the way… these are the best looking I’ve seen the ‘World Cup’ Air Jordan 6 Retro but even then I probably would only buy them if they didn’t come with the CP3.VII AE.

Air Jordan 6 Juan Uribe Dodgers PE

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Juan Uribe’s pre-game turf shoe is straight up awesome. I know everyone loves the all red everything movement but for me, I love all blue kicks. Hell, they made Spiz’ike’s look great when they made them all blue. If they were to drop a similar colorway with a normal Air Jordan 6 midsole and outsole then

Air Jordan 6 Retro ‘Carmine – Detailed Look

A fan favorite, the Air Jordan 6 Retro ‘Carmine’, gets its first proper (solo) Retro release since ’91 and I couldn’t be happier… mostly because my 2008 pair is beginning to crack all over the place so a fresh pair wouldn’t hurt. This is also great news for those that missed out on the 2008 CDP release or just refused
