The Air Jordan 6 is among the most iconic and beloved models in the Jordan Brand's history. It was the shoe that Michael Jordan wore when he won his first NBA championship in 1991. The AJ5 served as a major inspiration for the sneaker esthetic but with some significant changes.
With its unique form, AJ6 was initially created to symbolize the player's jersey number 23. The Air Jordan 6 is still a well-liked shoe today, and it comes in a variety of colors every year.
Besides the popular general releases, Michael Jordan’s sixth signature silhouette has also witnessed a number of highly coveted collaborative releases with names like Levi’s and Travis Scott.
