Talking About the Air Jordan 6 Retro Varsity Red

Michael Jordan won his first NBA championship while wearing the Air Jordan 6. Designed by Tinker Hatfield and originally released in 1991, the Air Jordan 6 had five original colorways in its first run:

The original retail price on the AJ 6 was $125. It was revived in 2000 and brought back many times-in 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020-through new retros and limited-edition collaborations.

Commercial Success of the Air Jordan 6

During the 1991 Playoffs, Jordan wore the Black/Infrared colorway. The sneakers were advertised through a series of black-and-white commercials featuring director Spike Lee as the character Mars Blackmon. One of these spots included Rock & Roll Hall of Fame musician Little Richard as a genie who turns Mars Blackmon into Michael Jordan. The NBA superstar also wore the White/Carmine colorway in a popular Gatorade commercial that introduced the "Like Mike" theme song.

Rappers and hip-hop artists have also embraced the Air Jordan 6. In 2004, Kanye West wore the Black/Infrared AJ 6 in his All Falls Down music video. Other musicians who have collaborated on the shoe include Travis Scott and Macklemore, the latter having an exclusive, limited quantity run created for friends and family that never got released at retail.

The year 2010 brought the much anticipated release of the Air Jordan 6 Retro Varsity Red. A classic Tinker Hatfield Air Jordan 6 silhouette receives retro retooling of its OG 1991 Black/Infrared color blocking. In the retro shoe, the color blocking gets enhanced through additions of Varsity Red. The red appears where the original infrared accents once were. Translucent white soles equipped with Nike Air sole units provide cushioning and contrast to black, red, and white midsoles. The entire upper is vintage-inspired black suede.
