Air Jordan 6 Retro 'Black/Light Crimson'

Black. Light Crimson. The AJ6 at Its Most Aggressive.

The Air Jordan 6 Retro in 'Black/Light Crimson' takes the championship silhouette that Michael Jordan wore during the 1991–92 season — the second title of the first three-peat — and gives it the color combination that the AJ6's fighter-pilot energy has always been capable of carrying. Black base. Light crimson hit. A shoe that looks like it was built for a player who had already proven everything and was still hungry for more.

Style number CT8529-001.

The AJ6 and the Three-Peat Foundation

Tinker Hatfield designed the Air Jordan 6 in 1991 as the shoe that would carry Michael Jordan through his first NBA Championship — and it delivered. The AJ6's design language drew from the same fighter jet and sports car inspiration that Hatfield had been developing across the Jordan line: the molded tongue pull-tab, the internal support system, the lace lock, and the clean midsole profile created a shoe that communicated speed, precision, and containment. Jordan wore the 6 to his first title in 1991 and his second in 1992. The 'Black/Light Crimson' colorway applies the aggressive energy of those championship seasons to a color story that matches the shoe's competitive character.

Why 'Black/Light Crimson' on the AJ6

Black and crimson on the AJ6 is a color combination that understands the silhouette's history — the dark base references the intensity and focus of the championship seasons the shoe was built for, and the crimson brings the energy and urgency that Jordan's competitive drive always carried into every game. Light crimson sits between the aggression of full red and the softness of pink — warm enough to read as bold, precise enough to read as intentional. It pairs with black, white, grey, and navy fits that let the crimson accent register cleanly, and wears with the authority of a shoe that carries two championship seasons in its design DNA.
