Air Jordan VI Review

18. May 2008

Pros: Generally comfortable; good court feel thanks to its thin midsole; traction, though quite poor when I first reviewed this Retro + release back in 2000, is now excellent (see my note about this in the review); still an absolutely bad ass design

Written By: airjordanxi

Here is the home colorway of the original Air Jordan VI. This was worn mainly while MJ was at home with the Chicago Bulls. Much like the Air Jordan V, the Air Jordan VI also contains clear rubber soles as well as a lace lock. But to be different this lace lock does not come with the plastic piece that it was encased in with the Air Jordan V.

Air Jordan VI OG White/Sport Blue/Black

14. May 2008

Written By: airjordanxi

Now wether you call these the "September Blue" or the "Sport Blue's" they are still one of the rarest original Air Jordan VI's to come across. The confusion of the nickname came from the box tag abbreviation of the colorway. It simply read "White/Sptblu-Black." So since "spt" could be the abbreviation for sport or September different people go by the two different words.

This was the final colorway originally released for the Air Jordan VI. Nicknamed "carmine" due to the colorway description these have become one of the greatest pairs of Air Jordan's of all time. For many years people begged and pleaded for Jordan Brand to retro these, there was even a petition made by a avid sneaker head to try to help pursuade them to be released.

Air Jordan 6 Retro+ Black/Deep Infared

14. May 2008

Written By: airjordanxi

Continuing on down the line, in 2000 we get the return of the Air Jordan VI. Funny thing about these is that all colorways of the Air Jordan Retro VI released in 2000 are labeled as a retro+. But this specific colorway is actually an original one. They even still bare the original Nike Air on the back and such. The reason these were labeled as a retro+ is because the samples that were made for these were slightly different which would've made then a retro+ at the time.

Written By: airjordanxi

With the 2000 Olympics underway, it's only right that we get a new Olympic Air Jordan. This is the first Olympic inspired Air Jordan to release since 1992 with the Dream Team and the Air Jordan VII. These were worn by Ray Allen as he represented his country, and that's also how they got the nickname of "Ray Allen's" along with the "olympic's."

Here is the other men's colorway of the Air Jordan VI Retro Low that was released in 2002. These like the other also started at a size 6.5 as that was still considered a men's size.

Air Jordan 6 Retro Low White/University Blue

14. May 2008

Written By: airjordanxi

This is one of the two men's colorways of the Air Jordan Retro VI Low released in 2002. These were only made in men's sizes due to being a limited release and they actually started at a size 6.5. Reason for that is because this was before men's sizes officially changed to start at size 7.5. They retailed for $105 and came with the signature lacelocks that are common with the Air Jordan VI.
