Air Jordan 6

Air Jordan 6: his history

In 1991 Tinker Hatfield unveiled the legendary Air Jordan 6 Series, who was supposed to set new standards with a completely new design. Six years after the release of the Jordan 1 Series, Michael Jordan, with the new model at the foot, entered his first NBA champion title.

The Nike model was first published in five different colorways led by the White Infrared and the Black Infrared.

The new design

Tinker Hatfield struggled again with this silhouette and completely removed from the design of the Jordan 1 Series. At the request of Michael Jordan, the shoe was designed both in the design and in terms of material cleaner. As inspiration, he took an Italian shoe that was made of a single piece and only one material. To make the sneaker easier, Hatfield decided to use suede instead of normal leather. However, since this was less breathable, he added perforations in larger areas of the shoe.

The Air Jordan 6 Series was the first model that included a Heeltab. It was another practical detail, which was used to simplify the tying of the sneakers. This was inspired by the spoiler of Michael Jordan's Porsch.

The tongue was also revised and offered a better hold with two openings and more breathability. The Air Jordan 6 was the last model where there was still a visible air bubble in the midsole.

The 6 Series and his collaborations

Even if the 6 Series does not apply to the most successful models, he had his prime in the subject of collaborations between 2010 and 2017. Among them fell Jordan Motorsports, Macklemore, the Manga Slam Dunk and Gatorade. However, the first collaboration took place together with patients in 2009 as part of the Doernbrug program.

The most popular collaboration took place in 2019 with the US rapper Travis Scott, who brought the sneaker out in two new colorways. These had the peculiarity of having attached small bags with push buttons on the sides.

AJ6 for men and women?

The sneaker published in 1991 has already experienced many re-designs. Since the model appears in various colorways, it is suitable for both men and women. Like many other Nike and Jordan Brand shoes, Air Jordan 6 Unisex is.

How does the Air Jordan 6 fit?

As far as the SISSING of the AJ6 is concerned, it is a bit larger. Half size is advised than taking its regular shoe size.
