Air Jordan 6 Olympic Collection
 Eight years ago, Ray Allen wore the Jordan 6 in a special Olympic color up for the Sydney Games where Team USA took its last Gold Medal in Men’s Basketball. Since then the team has had some “issues”, but hopefully the blessing of another Olympic inspired Jordan 6 can turn things around.
This Jordan 6 is not made to match Team USA’s uniform but rather the Olympic Flag. Each of the 6 colors of the flag (5 rings + white background) are represented on this special edition sneaker. A first for the Jordan 6, the shoe is dressed in white patent leather and features a unique stitching detail on the toe that is similar to on a pair Melo will be wearing during the Games (can’t say yet). Look for the Olympic Jordan 6 June 7th at a price of $150. Pics thank to Kenlu. UPDATE: This Jordan 6 is part of the Jordan Olympic Collection that features the Olympic Collection Air Jordan 7 and other gear. |

I’ve seen so many people hate on this shoe, yet they’ll be in line camping out for these, and throw them up on EBay, asking 3-4 times retail with the quickness.
Personally, I like these. I feel that the concept was executed properly and that the design on the toe is very interesting. My only qualm is white patent leather, but hey, everything can’t perfect like that Jordan 11, lol

Hardbody…
Comment by GucciRick — May 6, 2008 @ 1:59 am
they messed up the greatest jordan ever made…they actually figured out how to do it ^^^^^and people will camp out for anything, so thats not really a revelation
Comment by gold — May 6, 2008 @ 2:36 am
like everthing,but the design on da toe.
Comment by kutnup — May 6, 2008 @ 2:58 am
terrible colors, terrible design, terrible materials…….just plain terrible! It’s sad to see the VI take such a horrific beating. smh
Comment by TechNutt — May 6, 2008 @ 4:45 am
I don’t give a !@#$…I’ll be one of those people getting these by any means necessary
Comment by nikeindabutt — May 6, 2008 @ 4:53 am
Tha shoe is alright but definitely copped
Comment by jordanboy2333 — May 6, 2008 @ 4:54 am
when i see them, my jaw drops. BUT…. then i see the fairy design on the toe……… WTF is that. they will most likely be harder to find then the DMPs. they haven’t released any retros alone yet. i say they go for like 400$ at the stores.i like the colors, it looks old school, but that lil gay drawing on the front really makes me think twice. now all you need is a tutu, a magic wand and some fairy dust n wings, then you can have air jordan retro 6 gay edition
Comment by bkbigjay — May 6, 2008 @ 5:17 am
man the sole is awful! and what is that design on the toe. glad jordans arent really my thing.
Comment by YouKnow — May 6, 2008 @ 5:43 am
Don’t sleep on these!
Comment by Smokey Da Bear — May 6, 2008 @ 6:01 am
I didn’t really understand why everyone was hating on these initially, but the new more detailed pics have put me off them. Don’t like the patent touches or the design on the toebox…
Comment by Dan Love — May 6, 2008 @ 6:32 am
the shoe is hot ima cop em…the toe design throws me off a lil bit doe
Comment by zaybo561 — May 6, 2008 @ 6:33 am
1- is a 6 (holy grail).
2- i can live with the stiching.
3- to much color on the tongue (black,yellow and red air jordan letters was enough.
4- why don’t be simple on the back of the shoes (jumpman logo ) it would look better if it would be one color only).
5- olympic!!!!
6- the sole is ok looks niec with all the colors…give you more option to wear it.
7- im 50/50 in to coop it.
Comment by Air Jedi — May 6, 2008 @ 6:41 am
I think these shoes are very nice. Remember guys this model in MJ won his first NBA Championship. I can’t want until my store gets them.
Comment by Jay — May 6, 2008 @ 7:22 am
I wonder if the shoe would look better without the black. The design on the toebox is terrible. I wish it was simple with something to do with the Olympics. I love 6’s but this is a pass. Carmines over these anyday of the week and twice on Sunday.
Comment by TASJ7045 — May 6, 2008 @ 8:02 am
RAINBOW BRIGHT!!!!!!PASS ON THESE I WILL GET CARMINES!BRING BACK THE INFAREDS!!!

Comment by cheyo — May 6, 2008 @ 8:36 am
Jordan is starting to get a little out of pocket, they diffently thinking outside the box nowanddays but are they serious. Has an old school Jordan head, Jordan is really starting to disappoint me. These bubble gum ass kicks are terrible, the toe design is wack. What happened to the good old days where Retros were classics, with maybe a new colorway here or there. Now Jordans are preschoolers coloring time. There are hundreds of color combos, that would kill, and Team Jordan with Skilles on us…..WOW. Pass
Comment by Big Bang — May 6, 2008 @ 8:37 am
Is this from “JB’s Guide on How to Kill a Classic”?
Comment by NUCLEUS.ON — May 6, 2008 @ 8:41 am
I got to have em
Comment by the_boi — May 6, 2008 @ 8:45 am
I just thought id point out the inspiration behind this BESIDES the olympic flag. Jordan always liked the clean toe because it reminded him of dress shoes. It looks like theyre trying to do something similar to a dress shoe with that stitching on the toe (like alot of dress shoes have) and the patent leather (like alot of dress shoes have). I still don’t like the way those look on the VI tho, so I’m not defending it, just pointing it out, because no one seems to realize that.
Comment by BKost — May 6, 2008 @ 8:50 am
weak… CARMINES.. ALL DAY and i agree too.. the jordan brand is really starting to dissapoint me.. come on now it JORDAN.. the jordan team needs to stop playing and get serious on what shoe that they make.. at this point jordan prolly would release some ALL MUSTARD COLORED 6′S AND PEOPLE WILL COP.. JB GET IT TOGETHER .. MAKE THE SHOES PEOPLES MONEYS WORTH..

Comment by airnasty — May 6, 2008 @ 10:31 am
I don’t like this pair. Personally, I don’t understand why they keep on releasing ugly colorways. Gentry deserve to be fired.

p.s. that toe box is just gross…
Comment by CRUMBSNATCHER — May 6, 2008 @ 10:48 am
Yes Jordan brand releases somme awful colorways, however this is not one of them. I would use some royal blue shoe strings though. That toe box is a little “extra” but you can barely see it.
Comment by J.King — May 6, 2008 @ 12:02 pm

Comment by J.King — May 6, 2008 @ 12:02 pm
just because its a jordan, does not make it fresh…jb is so far in some of you kids heads, that you think ur suppose to like it. i dont care if its different. make this shoe a reebok,,and everyone is hollerin about how wack it is. give up the imaginary jordan contracts. u cannot find a person who likes the VI more than me,,these just suck
Comment by gold — May 6, 2008 @ 12:09 pm

it never ceases to amaze me
when we first saw these, everybody wanted to burn them in the street. now, of course, everybody wants them.
Comment by johnny qb — May 6, 2008 @ 8:37 pm
Brand Jordan should of never used patent leather on the Olympic 6’s and the stitching on the front makes em look like variants from China. I’ll buy a pair jusT to say I have em, but u wont see em on my feet-^HDAPPERSUAVE^
oh yea, im gettin a discount from footlocker/footaction, u’de be stupid to pay full price for em.

Comment by dre — May 6, 2008 @ 11:35 pm
The 6 are one of my fav’s for sure, but these are pretty weak. $150 is not bad considering the price of these will inflate in a couple of years, so a possibly good investment also. Won’t buy to rock though.
Comment by Stylez — May 7, 2008 @ 2:04 am

Comment by flyasthesky — May 7, 2008 @ 2:10 am
THE JORDAN 6 ARE MY FAVORITES AND ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT TO FIND OUT THERE. WISH IT COULD HAVE BEEN THE INFRARED,BUT UNDERSTAND THAT THOSE ARE IN TRIBUTE OF THE OLYMPIC COLORS. FOR THOSE THAT WILL COP THEM, THERE ARE A COLLECTIBLE ITEM: “NOT MEANT TO BE WORN”

At this point, I just want a pair of VIs. I probably won’t have enough money when the 6/17 pack drops, so these will “probably” suffice. The re-sell market is effing killing me!
Comment by grizz8884 — May 7, 2008 @ 3:17 pm
these are fresh half the people that dont like these dress like retards and dont stick out ina crowd cause you just stick to whack obvious colors like white red and black. you rock these and all eyes will be on you get a matching shirt and consider you’re self the center of attention.
