Air Jordan 6 Retro 'Infrared' (2019)
The Championship Shoe. The Infrared Legacy.
The Air Jordan 6 Retro 'Infrared' (2019) brings back the exact colorway Michael Jordan wore when he captured his first NBA Championship in 1991 — one of the most significant moments in basketball history, on one of the most significant shoes ever designed. Black and Infrared on the AJ6 isn't just a colorway. It's a championship pedigree worn on your feet.
The AJ6: MJ's First Championship Shoe
Tinker Hatfield designed the Air Jordan 6 with direct input from Michael Jordan, incorporating a rubber tongue grip for easy on-and-off, a supportive heel pull tab, and a clean, aggressive profile that set the standard for performance basketball footwear in the early 1990s. MJ wore the Infrared colorway during the 1990-91 season — the year the Bulls went 61-21, swept through the playoffs, and defeated the Los Angeles Lakers to claim the franchise's first championship. The shoe was there for all of it.

How to Style It
Black and Infrared is one of Jordan Brand's most powerful and recognizable color combinations. Let it lead with an all-black outfit to make the infrared accents ignite, pair it with white and grey for a sharp, high-contrast look, or match the infrared with bold red tones for a daring tonal statement. The Infrared AJ6 is a shoe that carries history — wear it like it.
1991. The Bulls. The championship. The Infrared AJ6. All connected.
