Air Jordan 6 “Paris Olympics” DQ4914-074

Description

Perfectly capturing the essence of Parisian style and the grandeur of the Olympic Games, the sneaker’s upper features worn suede underlays paired beautifully with anodized pearl lace bling, adding a unique and luxurious touch to the design. Metallic gold accents nod to the ultimate symbol of Olympic achievement—the gold medal. The design is completed with a semi-translucent outsole. This combination of elements gives the shoe a sophisticated and stylish appearance.

When did the Air Jordan 6 release?

Second to the Air Jordan 1, the Air Jordan 6 is still to this day one of the most popular silhouettes within the line-up.
Originally released in 1991 and it soon followed MJ into his first NBA Championship, the Air Jordan 6 was designed by Tinker Hatfield. They feature a visible Air unit in the heel as well as a translucent outsole, a molded back heel tab and set of lace locks.

The history behind the Air Jordan 6 is the reason why I love it so much. To me, the shoe will always be iconic as it was worn by Michael Jordan himself en route to his first NBA title.

Comfort:
The Air Jordan 6 may be one of the more uncomfortable retros in the Air Jordan line, I’ve always found them to be very firm underfoot, but the biggest pro of the silhouette is that they’re wide-foot friendly — something that I appreciate.

Fit:
Sizing wise, they fit relatively true to size. Some will get away with going half a size down because the sneaker has a roomy toe box.

Care:
Depending on the materials of the shoe, I care for my Air Jordan 6 sneakers the same way I would care for any other shoe. For suede or nubuck uppers, I use suede brushes and scrub the midsoles and outsoles with a standard shoe cleaning product.
