The Championship Sneaker

The Air Jordan 6, released in 1991, holds a special place in history as the shoe Michael Jordan wore when he won his first NBA championship with the Chicago Bulls. Designed by Tinker Hatfield, the AJ6 was built for performance, featuring a clean toe cap, two holes in the tongue, and a redesigned heel tab that made it easier to put on and take off. The translucent outsole made a comeback, and the overall design was sleeker than previous models. Important colorways include "Infrared," "Carmine," and "Black/Infrared." The AJ6 is celebrated not just for its clean look but also for its connection to Jordan's first championship, making it a very significant and treasured model in the Air Jordan collection.
