The story
The Air Jordan 6 is championship shoe number one — MJ beat the Lakers in June 1991 for his first ring wearing the 6. The 'White Infrared' is one of the five OG 1991 colorways and hasn't released since 2014, making 2026's 35th-anniversary return its fifth outing ever — after 1991, 2000, 2010 and 2014.
This version goes full OG: restored 1991 mold, Nike Air heel branding, and the classic white-and-Infrared blocking — part of Jordan Brand's OG-spec restoration program that made recent reissues hit harder than standard retros.
Twelve years off the shelf plus Nike Air branding equals real demand; expect quick sellouts and healthy resale, especially in OG-favored sizes.
The deep cuts
- The AJ6's spoiler-like heel tab was modeled on the oversized rear wing of MJ's Porsche 911 — and MJ specifically asked that it not touch his Achilles.
- The retro price ladder tells its own story: the 2000 White Infrared cost $120, and the 2010 'Infrared Pack' bundled the white and black pairs together for $310.
- MJ clinched his first NBA title in the AJ6 on June 12, 1991 — Game 5 at the L.A. Forum against the Lakers.
- In Japan, the AJ6 is iconic as Hanamichi Sakuragi's shoe in Slam Dunk — a 2014 Jordan x Slam Dunk AJ6 stitched his No. 10 on the heel.
