seein these brings back some memories,stepdad bought 2 pairs back from states to australia in 1992,his pair didnt fit him so i scored them both,i used one pair for 2 seasons of court and training and when my prom came around pulled ont the other pair,black tux,blue tie and smokin pair of 6s,the ultimate statement when everone else is in black shiny shoes,used them as weekend shoes till they eventualy fell apart and left em on a beach,it was these shoes which have turned me into a collector of jordan 6s owning over 20 pairs,what i would give to have them 2 new boxes in my hands today!!!!!!! BRING THEM BACK !! BRING THEM BACK !!! BRING THEM BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! put my order in i want 6 pairs

Oct 18, 2009 at 1:33 pm
if JB ever came back out w/ these, im so coppin asap!
Oct 18, 2009 at 12:38 pm
I feel what you’re saying, Nasty Nate. The Js you’ve mentioned are all dope in just about every colorway and I would cop them each chance I get, too. My collection certainly isn’t all black. The Js mentioned in my avatar are my favorite black OGs.
Oct 18, 2009 at 11:56 am
getting them.
itd be better if they came out the same tho.
like. the black and infrareds are’nt having that ice bottom. the bottoms are white!

Oct 18, 2009 at 9:58 am
are you crazy….6″s,7’s,9’s,11’s,12’s no matter what color…are always a must cop
Oct 18, 2009 at 4:38 am
Def copp if ever a retro
Oct 17, 2009 at 10:16 pm
Air Jordan VI>>>>>
Oct 17, 2009 at 6:53 pm
Man, those joints are so nice. I hope JB can make that retro happen next here, as well.
Oct 17, 2009 at 12:39 pm
You know, for what its worth I didn’t know much about these… My first pair of Jordans as a kid were the Aqua 8’s… But these are very nice. Simple clean-cut look. Bring ‘em back, JB. Bring ‘em back.
Oct 17, 2009 at 7:15 am
Yeah these are september blue and I would definetly cop
Oct 17, 2009 at 6:31 am
REAL TALK, it’s sad to see this post and read 70 comments and see that only 2 people, and also matt (mr. nicekicks), pointed out that these are known as “SEPTEMBER BLUES”. as soon as i looked at the thread title i was like WTF. so i begin to read the comments to see if any one else caught this… 2 freggin people. its a sad day for the shoe game. but on a side note, thanks Matt for clearing up the confusion of the nickname. i actually had a pair a couple years ago (in beautiful condition, and my size- but i was too scared to ever wear them) with the OG box and sice it was abbreviated i never caught that, even air;jordans.com has them listed as september blue. still, i’ve been used to the name for so long i’ll continue to refer to them as such.
Oct 16, 2009 at 11:17 pm
i think this is the first blog in the history of nice kicks that no body is talking sh!t. There are so sexy!!!!!!!!!! MAKES YOU WANNNA SLAP YOUR MAMA JEJEJE! LOL
Oct 16, 2009 at 9:48 pm
When I was a kid, I thought I had seen all the colorways of the VI’s… As an adult, I was watching a replay of In Living Color and as Keenan Wayans is signing off, I see him wearing these??? I knew they couldn’t be fake considering the timeframe, but I just couldn’t believe it!! I’ve spent many days wishing Nike/JB would bring these back!! (although nothing compares to the blk/infrared VI’s).
Oct 16, 2009 at 2:25 pm
dude i got crackedd.nearly nutted in my pants til i saw it was throwback thursday…too bad :[
Oct 16, 2009 at 1:58 pm
oh man… how i miss these kicks… wore for my jv year at CARSON HIGH… did my work in’m too…. i just hated having to wipe the bottom after every two play because they picked up dirt!!! very comfy!!
Oct 16, 2009 at 11:22 am
Shame to the person saying these came out in 2000. Let me guess, they released with the yeezys at Jimmy Jazz right?
Oct 16, 2009 at 10:45 am
yes i would love to c these make a true comeback in 2010. i would cop me a pair off these the are hot az hell.
Oct 16, 2009 at 9:47 am
deff cop to the maxxx like omg
Oct 16, 2009 at 9:43 am
Man, that icey Nike Air in the back is the teetas.
Oct 16, 2009 at 8:38 am
instacop
Oct 16, 2009 at 8:36 am
Wow,
Many people, including myself for several years, referred to these as the “September Blues”. The reason for the confusion is that on the box, the color is listed as “SPT BLUE”. In a Nike Basketball catalog from 1990-91 the full word is spelled out as “Sport Blue.”
Oct 16, 2009 at 8:24 am
I’D RATHER HAVE SOME BRED XIII’S I REGRET BALLING IN THEM TRYING TO BE FLY BUT I WAS IN THE 10TH GRADE AND YOUNG. WATCH ALL THESE KICKS THEY SOME OF US WILL PAY A THOUSAND BUCKS FOR THEYLL BE RETROED IN THE FUTURE FOR RETAIL IN ABOUT 5 YEARS THSTS WHY I WASNT SO ADAMENT ON GETTING THOSE FINALE PREMIERS BECAUSE I KNOW THEYLL BE BACK OUT IN UNDER 6 YEARS
Oct 16, 2009 at 8:15 am
Purchase fo sho love the 6’s!
Oct 16, 2009 at 7:48 am
man its hurts me to c these again I Had all these bac n da day. If I would hve known wht I know now man my collection would b real Sick. I gve these to my cuz bac n da day wish I would hve kept them
Oct 16, 2009 at 6:24 am
Those are known to sneaker heads as the “SEPTEMBER Blue” VI’s.
What is even more sad is that 95% of the people who posted comments probably doesn’t know that. The perfect example of how the shoe game has evolved.
Oct 16, 2009 at 5:23 am
I hope they come back, I like these better than infrareds
Oct 16, 2009 at 3:28 am
really a nice blog and I like it!
Oct 16, 2009 at 1:21 am
2010 is gonna go hard with all these 6’s droppin, cant wait.. gonna retire all my other OG VI’s after copin these..
Oct 16, 2009 at 12:55 am
If these came out in 2000, don’t you mean 9 years later, and not 19???
Oct 16, 2009 at 12:51 am

Oct 15, 2009 at 11:56 pm

Oct 15, 2009 at 11:54 pm

Oct 15, 2009 at 11:20 pm

Oct 15, 2009 at 11:08 pm

Oct 15, 2009 at 10:01 pm
Instead of all these tacky colors JB can really get a hit out of simple colorways like these.
Oct 15, 2009 at 9:59 pm
