Throwback Thursday: Nike Air Jordan VI “Sport Blue”

Nike Air Jordan VI Sport BlueA couple colorways of the Air Jordan 6 are slated to return in 2010; however, some of our favorites still appear to remain in the vault for now.  Definitely not nearly as popular as either of the infrared colorways, the “Sport Blue” Air Jordan VI is still actively sought after by many original Jordan collectors.

Jordan Brand gave us a little taste of blue VIs in 2000 when the shoe released in White/Midnight Navy, but I am pretty sure that after almost 19 years this one is ready for return?

If JB brought back the Sport Blue Jordan VI would they be a purchase or pass?  Leave your thoughts after the break.

    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

  7. BlkJordans3s4s6and11

    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.

  8. OG kool kiid

    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!
    effin gayyy

  9. Nasty Nate

  10. ATL_Dunk-Junkie

  11. ANON

    Air Jordan VI>>>>>

  12. BlkJordans3s4s6and11

    Man, those joints are so nice. I hope JB can make that retro happen next here, as well.

  13. MontanaCaiRo

    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.

  14. Ariel

    Yeah these are september blue and I would definetly cop

  15. jsrgreat_23

    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.

  16. Air Dime!!!!!!

    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 :D

  17. Life423

    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).

  18. blazer

    dude i got crackedd.nearly nutted in my pants til i saw it was throwback thursday…too bad :[

  19. arnie

    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!!

  20. PHIL

    Shame to the person saying these came out in 2000. Let me guess, they released with the yeezys at Jimmy Jazz right?

  21. Keith

    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.

  22. mike m

    deff cop to the maxxx like omg

  23. biggins

    Man, that icey Nike Air in the back is the teetas.

  24. 206kicks

    instacop

  25. Matt Halfhill

    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.”

  26. WhatReleaseDateIcoppEARLY

    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

  27. BMJ

    Purchase fo sho love the 6’s!

  28. tonya

    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

  29. Wow

    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.

  30. 954$

    I hope they come back, I like these better than infrareds

  31. nike shoesonline

  32. big_BOTO
