Commercial Success of the Air Jordan 6

During the 1991 Playoffs, Jordan wore the Black/Infrared colourway. The trainers were advertised through a series of black-and-white commercials featuring director Spike Lee as the character Mars Blackmon. One of these spots included Rock & Roll Hall of Fame musician Little Richard as a genie who turns Mars Blackmon into Michael Jordan. The NBA superstar also wore the White/Carmine colourway in a popular Gatorade commercial that introduced the "Like Mike" theme song.

Rappers and hip-hop artists have also embraced the Air Jordan 6. In 2004, Kanye West wore the Black/Infrared AJ 6 in his All Falls Down music video. Other musicians who have collaborated on the shoe include Travis Scott and Macklemore, the latter having an exclusive, limited quantity run created for friends and family that never got released at retail.

The Jordan brand released a revolutionary new design with the release of its Foamposite colourway on the Air Jordan 6 Rings silhouette. A black Foamposite upper serves as the main focal point for this release. Black coats the laces, tongue, side panels, lace lock, lace strap, strap clasp, inner sock liner, heel tab, the Jordan brand Jumpman logo on the heel, and the paw print outer sole. A Varsity Royal patent leather coats the rest of this release, covering the heel and the toe and side panel's mudguard. A Varsity Royal Jumpman emblem also sits on the tongue, surrounded by a fuzzy black chenille background. Six blocks of tread sit on the bottom of this trainer for added traction while on the basketball court.
