| With the Carmine Air Jordan 6 making a comeback later this month, I thought it was time they deserved to get some shine on Throwback Thursday.?? The Air Jordan 6 is a legendary sneaker for a number of reasons. The sneakers were the third Air Jordan designed by Tinker Hatfield and though it was the last shoe to have clear soles (before returning on the Jordan 11) it was a first for many other things seen on Air Jordans.
The sole of the Jordan 6 was the first to feature the Jumpman in rubber. The Jumpman was present on the Jordan 5, but underneath the clear sole. The Jordan 6 was also the first of many to feature a non-traditional tongue with a neoprene sock style tongue. The Air Jordan 6 was also the first to have a tab on the back of the sneaker to easy the wearer to put their foot into the shoe. But most important of all, the Air Jordan 6 was the first shoe MJ won an NBA Championship in. It has taken Jordan Brand 17 years to bring back this classic. May 24th is the date circled on many Jordan head’s calendars when the Carmine Jordan 6 comes back in the 17/6 Countdown Pack. Take a minute to browse all of the photos we posted of the original Carmines after the jump. |
