Air Jordan 6 Retro "Infrared" (2019)
The Championship Shoe. The Infrared. The Legend.
The Air Jordan 6 Retro "Infrared" (2019) is a direct throwback to the shoe Michael Jordan wore when he captured his first NBA Championship in 1991. Black tumbled leather with infrared accents and a translucent outsole — this is the colorway that was on MJ's feet when he finally broke through and became a champion for the first time. The 2019 retro brings it back with premium construction and period-correct details that honor every moment of that historic run.
Why It Carries Championship Weight
- Infrared Colorway — Black leather with iconic infrared (bright red-orange) accents — the exact color combination MJ wore to win his first title in 1991
- Premium Black Tumbled Leather Upper — Rich, textured black leather with bold infrared accents that pop from every angle
- Translucent Outsole — The AJ6's signature clear rubber outsole — a Tinker Hatfield design detail that gives the shoe its unmistakable look from below
- Pull Tab at Heel & Tongue — The AJ6's iconic lace-lock system and pull tabs — functional details that became defining design signatures
- Zoom Air Cushioning — Responsive cushioning for all-day comfort on and off the court
How to Wear It
Black and infrared is one of the most powerful color combinations in sneaker history — pair with all-black for a look where the infrared strikes like fire, or black and red for a full aggressive statement. Keep it clean and let MJ's first championship colorway do the talking.
First ring. First championship shoe. All infrared — wear the shoe that started a dynasty.
