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 Infrared White 2014
The 2014 release of the Air Jordan 6 Infrared White Retro colorway stands out with its exclusively white upper. A bright white drapes over the toe, heel, and overlays, working its way up the tongue and to the laces. A perforated design on the upper and ankle cushion provides for additional breathability. Elsewhere on the top portion of the sneaker, hints of black appear. Black adorns the top of the tongue, inner sock liner, and heel tab and can be found once again on the tread. A bright Infrared is seen accented the heel tab and laces and again on the midsole. One fine splash of Infrared is found underneath, stamping the bottom with an oversized Jordan Jumpman logo. This new Retro classic made its way to store shelves across the US on February 15th of 2015.
