AIR JORDAN VI GENERAL INFORMATION

Air Jordan VI (6) Head Designer: Hatfield

In
the 90-91 season Michael added the only thing missing in his awards and
titles received in the NBA. The Bulls finally won the NBA Championships
beating the LA Laker's in the final. After having lost the first game
they won four straight games and were without a doubt the strongest
team in the NBA in a long time.

Rubber toungie What is there to
say else than Hatfield created another classic. This time with a rubber
tounge featuring two holes which the bearer could use to easily get the
kicks on.

He kept the idea with clear rubber soles and lace locks from the V's but apart from that this felt like a brand new AJ design.

The
pattern on the shoe was interesting. If you looked at it in different
angels and with a little bit of imagination you could see the number
23. The figure 2 standing up on the back of the shoe and the figure 3
lying down facing the ground close to the laces (soon there will be a
picture illustrating this).

Retro or a butchered classic? Right
before the retro release of the black/black-infra-red, pictures were
published on webpages where it showed that they had reversed the
midsole colors so that the red was now black and vice versa. This upset
a whole lot of collectors and the word butchered was what would define
this way of "destroying" a classic.

The final version turned out
to be just as the original and the few people that were lucky enough to
get the "butchered" sample version can probably make a buck or two...
