Air Jordan 6 heritage

The sixth signature basketball shoe in Nike's Jordan series, the original Air Jordan 6 was designed by Tinker Hatfield and first launched in 1991. Michael Jordan wore the model when he led the Chicago Bulls to their first NBA championship that year.

Inspired by Jordan's favorite Porsche sports cars, the original design features streamlined lines and a sense of speed. Its heel construction was also described in the original series background as providing Achilles tendon protection. This history refers to the original Air Jordan 6 series, not the release date of this Reverse Oreo edition.
