Commercial Success of the Air Jordan 6

During the 1991 Playoffs, Jordan wore the Black/Infrared colorway. The sneakers were advertised through a series of black-and-white commercials featuring director Spike Lee as the character Mars Blackmon. One of these spots included Rock & Roll Hall of Fame musician Little Richard as a genie who turns Mars Blackmon into Michael Jordan. The NBA superstar also wore the White/Carmine colorway in a popular Gatorade commercial that introduced the "Like Mike" theme song.

Rappers and hip-hop artists have also embraced the Air Jordan 6. In 2004, Kanye West wore the Black/Infrared AJ 6 in his All Falls Down music video. Other musicians who have collaborated on the shoe include Travis Scott and Macklemore, the latter having an exclusive, limited quantity run created for friends and family that never got released at retail.

Jordan 6 Retro Black Cat 2016

Black Cat was one of Michael Jordan's earliest nicknames, and it has inspired several colorways. The Jordan 6 Retro Black Cat has a predominantly black colorway with white hits at the midsole. It was released on December 30, 2016. The upper is made of leather and has perforations at the collar, side panels, and toe. PU foam midsoles and Nike Air units work together to deliver responsive cushioning. Nike Air is in both the heel and forefoot with a visibility window at the heel. There are two different types of rubber used for the outsoles that increase traction. These sneakers also feature a reinforced toe box and a molded heel tab.

    Legitimate basketball shoe

    Of the Jordans I have the 6 is the pair that I would actually play basketball in. Feels like a basketball-oriented performance shoe more than the 3-5 sneakers.
