The original retail price on the AJ 6 was $125. It was revived in 2000 and brought back many times-in 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020-through new retros and limited-edition collaborations.

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 Black 2014

The 2014 release of the Air Jordan 6 Retro Infrared 2014 marked a return to one of five OG colorways first introduced in 1991. The 2014 release coincided with the 23rd anniversary of the initial release of the Air Jordan 6 Infrared sneaker. The 2014 retro shoe has an all-black upper in nubuck leather with perforated details and infrared accents, such as lace locks. A reflective upper underlay brings back a feature not seen on AJ6 since its 1991 release. Nike Air defines the heel and provides cushioning, while infrared Jumpman logos decorate the tongue and outsole.
