[Update 22 Sep] If you’ve been eager to get your hands on the pair since you first heard about it, then we’d hate to be the one to break this to you: this AJ6’s release date is getting pushed back once more. For what it’s worth, it’s only for another month—12th November via Nike SNKRS.

[Update 20 Sep] The Nike Air Jordan 6 “Metallic Silver” will finally be released soon after travelling through the grapevine for the better part of the year. Set for a 15th October drop, the pair will be available on Nike.com and select retailers. Newly-surfaced images below also offer us a closer look at the AJ6, its multi-material construction and detailing.

The Nike Air Jordan 6, one of the most popular Jordan sneakers, is now available in a gorgeous outfit!!

The “Air Jordan 6” is a memorial pair worn by Michael Jordan when he won his first championship. In 2002, the low-cut version was released for off-court use. The sneaker scene entered a new phase in the 2000s, and Air Jordan 6 is still popular. The “Chrome” was reissued in 2015, and was also worn by Kobe Bryant during his sneaker free agent days. The fearless coloring with metallic silver shone brightly on and off the court.

The metallic texture is reminiscent of the classic “Chrome”, and the original silhouette is now available in this colorway. The entire upper is constructed with a matte nubuck reminiscent of the classic “Black/Infra Red,” while the spoiler-like heel and midsole are designed to further accentuate the metallic silver luster. The outsole is covered with clear rubber, symbolizing the “AJ6,” adding a touch of coolness to the heavy color scheme.
