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 Hare White 2020
The Air Jordan 6 Retro Hare was released on June 17, 2000. The design was inspired by the Air Jordan 7 'Hare' sneaker that Nike and Looney Tunes collaborated on back in '92. This was the beginning of the Jordan-Bugs Bunny relationship, setting the foundation for a Space Jam movie in '96. These Bugs Bunny Jordans feature a monochromatic grey, suede upper fitted with perforated overlays in grey and white. The laces are carrot-themed, and the rubberized, translucent tongue features a geometric pattern. These high-cut Jordans feature a rounded toe and a flat heel. The white, two-tone midsole features accents of True Red and has a visible Air unit embedded in the heel. These white Jordans are also fitted with an extended spoiler on the heel and a translucent rubber outsole.
