The History of the Air Jordan 6
Six years after the launch of the Air Jordan 1 Mid in 1985, it was in 1991 that the Jordan 6 became legendary. The Jordan 6 is an evolution of the Jordan V, it is the sixth model imagined and developed for The Black Cat . Designed by legendary designer Tinker Hatfield, this trainer represents Jordan 's number 23. Wearing the AJ6, Michael Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to the NBA title in 1991. The latter was also voted top scorer in the NBA and Olympic champion. It is considered the most suitable for playing basketball . Technically, the pair of shoes is designed for gaming with an avant-garde design, but still retains the streetwear vibe that made previous models successful. Basketball fans are snapping up the model as soon as it's released!
The characteristics of the Air Jordan 6
Inspired by the sleek design of Michael Jordan 's German sports car, the AJ6 is a unique shoe that stays true to its heritage: The Jordan 4 Retro . He wanted a cleaner model in terms of style and material, because above all he appreciated the finesse of Italian shoes. Indeed, the Jordan Air Jordan 6 were made from a single material with a single panel which was the world reference for him.
Compared to the Jordan 5, the Jordan 6 Retro is lighter, thinner and more functional thanks to an integrated neoprene tongue with two visible rubber openings on the top of the pair, which allows for better breathability and thus better support of the foot. The rear of the Air Jordan 6 vi has been designed in hard plastic with grooves for better flexibility by leaving a visible air bubble.
It is also the first Jordan model equipped with a reinforcement in the front and a molded structure on the rear part. Another novelty is the use of a translucent rubber sole for greater grip. There are five colors that were produced especially for the original version of the Air Jordan 6 Retro .
