Release Reminder: Air Jordan 6 Retro Black/Red

Air Jordan Alpha 1

This Saturday, January 23rd, 2010, Jordan Brand will unleash its first true retro of 2010 in the form of the Air Jordan 6 Retro for $150.

We showcased this particular sneaker in our 10 Sneakers We’re Looking Forward to in 2010, and many of you agreed. The Air Jordan 6 has a lot of rich history behind it to say the least. For example, Michael Jordan won his first championship against the Los Angeles Lakers in this shoe. Although the original version featured infrared accents instead of the regular red, this is still a nice pickup for $150. Who else cannot wait until tomorrow?

  17. Posted by Blue Crew at January 23, 2010 at 1:59 pm

    Went to footlocker this morning around 9, no one else was there. Easy cop. My pair was nice and fit true to size. (size 11) if you like them then just buy them. If you don’t like them then just pass on them. Simple as that.

  18. Posted by ken spiffey at January 23, 2010 at 2:01 pm

    I just got mine…they are okay…almost cop’d Kobe V’s

  19. Posted by incognitoT at January 23, 2010 at 2:20 pm

    Same here. I just woke back up from getting up early. Dude at FL let me come in this morning and cop before they opened. Like folks said, this was an easy cop cause there wasn’t anyone lined up. There was a little line at Finish Line but these might still sell out once more folks are aware that they dropped. They are sweet and they are in the closet though.

  20. Posted by incognitoT at January 23, 2010 at 2:23 pm

    Bring on the Oreos. I’ve got a feeling they are going to go quicker than these.

  21. Posted by Sneakerhead Me at January 23, 2010 at 2:26 pm

  25. Posted by Soulofsoles at January 23, 2010 at 2:36 pm

  37. Posted by JP at January 23, 2010 at 5:58 pm

    Jus copped mine no lines at all. The dude at footlocker said they only sold about 15 pairs today. I thought it was gonna b hard to get em but not at all. These are straight fire tho they look so much better in person then online. Cant wait to rock these in the summer

  38. Posted by juan at January 23, 2010 at 6:13 pm

    i copped em. first one to buy em at finish line . yaaaaaaaaaa boyeeee

  39. Posted by $neakerking at January 23, 2010 at 7:32 pm

    i am soooo happy i didn’t cop these early on vmv and waste $300. i saw bun rockin em at the goodie mob show in houston last week and i wasn’t impressed. went to hoh around 2:30 this afternoon to check em out up close, and i really wasn’t impressed. looks as though a lot of people agree cuz they hadn’t sold many at that point. easy pass, and in all honesty, i’d rather spend my money on the bred spizikes even with the odd blue accents and the copper foams. and if the black pair in the dmp is made with the same z quality suede as these, i might pass on that too.

  40. Posted by "Thuggish" at January 23, 2010 at 8:06 pm

    pmjc88 Man, Damn, here u are again throddling more cock, asking MF’s for help, Quit grippin b!tch! U always shouting out strangers like they know u. UGhhh! U sicken me! Spit that nut out. This is a sneaker blog, not a place for you to be gagging over MF’s jizzz!

    robocopped and happy!

  44. Posted by Jon at January 24, 2010 at 12:38 am

    sold out everywhere in 9.5 in the san francisco area. drove about 45 minutes away from the city to snag the last pair at a secluded footlocker. these r my first pair of 6′s, and i gotta say that i’m impressed. people be hatin’ on the suede, but it’s some high quality material, feeling like BUTTER. i recommend for ya’ll to go out and snag ‘em tomorrow if they still got ur size.

  45. Posted by Winse at January 24, 2010 at 12:51 am

    Went to my local FL @ 8 and only two ppl in front of me, kinda pissed since I got off work late and didn’t get much sleep and found out later stores still had my size at closing time. Oh well they fire! Quality is pretty good for JB nowadays and U really cant tell much difference between the suede & nubuck & the varsity & infrared. Thinking bout coppin’ a second pair to keep stocked in the closet since the icey parts are gonna yellow cuz I’m gonna rock da heck outta these!

  46. Posted by pinakbet & adobo at January 24, 2010 at 1:21 am

    pass on these 6′s, suede jus kills da shoe, oh well what can I say JB is jus messing up all these OG shoes up with different materials and color..

  47. Posted by AYO at January 24, 2010 at 1:40 am

    I wish they would have jus re-releasd the og’s but im too much of a fan to not cop these

  48. Posted by Brian at January 24, 2010 at 1:49 am

    got em. satisfied

  49. Posted by Pop at January 24, 2010 at 1:55 am

    Its funny. Many people says motorsport6s and oreo6s are fire.
    Then everybody sum downs to varsity-red6s because its not OG colourway.

  50. Posted by Me at January 24, 2010 at 2:08 am

    First pickup of 2010

  51. Posted by RCH89 at January 24, 2010 at 5:27 am

    I was the 1st person 2 buy them outta Champs Sports.. I live in Akron, OH, we don’t get a lot of shxt, the lady told me that they only got 1 pair per size….but that’s just like the Space Jam release here… We only got about 50-60 pairs throughout 2 cities…..BUT AS FAR AS THE QUALITY OF THE VIs, I can’t complain, I cldnt afford the infrareds whn they 1st came out, but now I can, so I can settle for Varsity Red….

  52. Posted by DrJ.2006 at January 24, 2010 at 8:02 am

    I’m looking at some of these comments, and I have to quote Flavor Flav and say “WOWWWWWWWW!!!” These may not be exactly the classik #6′s from the past, but these are still FRESH!!! I had my pair 2 weeks earlier than the release date and I broke plenty necks when I rocked them. My only complaint with Nike is that when they retro J’s, they should bring them back in the original form with the Nike Air on the back and keep them the way that they were originally released as, but other than that, these are a beast and look great in person.

  53. Posted by greenmaker24 at January 24, 2010 at 9:34 am

    not sure if i wanna cop

  54. Posted by Double paly king at January 24, 2010 at 10:10 am

    Got em they toooooooo sick…dont care if people dont want em they eventually gonna get sold out…Just want to know when the Griffey’s come out!!!!!!

  55. Posted by waynebrooks at January 24, 2010 at 12:13 pm

    I’m pleased with mine. I will say that my DMP 6s which I wear exhibit the usual problems associated with thenubuck Jordan 6s, which is the cracking and peeling nubuck uppers, but SURPRISINGLY the midsole is holding up very well after 5 years! Hopefully, with the suede upper, the upper in these new 6s should be more durable than nubuck and HOPEFULLY AS WELL *knocks on wood* the midsoles will hold up well without cracking up after a few years. Again, with all the new technology, Nike and Jordan Brand owe us sneakers where the midsoles dont crack and the paint doesnt flake off after a few wears and the uppers dont get unbglued after a couple years. Frankly, I want my Jordans and Nikes to be abloe to last for up to ten years and be able to withstand reasonable wear and tear!!

  56. Posted by D-BOYFRESH at January 24, 2010 at 1:25 pm

    THRE WERE NO PEOPLE AT THE MALL WHEN I GOT THESE YESTERDAY

  57. Posted by D-BOYFRESH at January 24, 2010 at 1:30 pm

    SIZES 9, 9.5 WERE SOLD OUT IN THE FRISCO AREA SO I SNATCHED MINE IN DALY CITY.

  58. Posted by Guapo at January 24, 2010 at 1:38 pm

    After reading the comments one thing is for certain, the majority of the time online hype for a sneaker far surpasses the retail madness people expect. On the net fresh kicks sell out fast at double the price because the entire world has accesess to them. I live in Miami and rolled through FL around 3pm after a wild Friday and they had a full size run of the retro 6; which look iller than a tight red dress on Zoe Saldana. So don’t believe the hype and save yourself some coin by hitting up your local spots on release dates…unless you live in Akron lol.

  59. Posted by MC at January 24, 2010 at 2:59 pm

    People will regret missing out on classic shoe. Man gonna go broke this yr motorsports, copper foam, eggplant, spizike, lebrons, and holiday XI which version they bring. On my must have list.

    Ok, so I bought these joints. But look at this suede! I damn sure won’t be wearing these any time soon with the kind of weather we have been getting up here! These babies going to have to hold out till spring time. Till then, I’ll be sitting on the couch with them on my feet once a month, lol.

  64. Posted by bobbay at January 25, 2010 at 5:30 am

    gonna cop 2 pair and make one my everyday shoe.
    its simple and clean.

    btw! remember to clean the soles after wear!

  65. Posted by xtraflymike at January 25, 2010 at 6:59 am

    Jordan needs to go back to Nike the quality in materials is a downgrade its like getting a benz with cloth seats.Nike is a billion dollar company and JB is a million dollar company and we suffer as customers cause he puts out shoes we like but they are overpriced and then limited runs on certain shoes DMP were a good look space jams too but fusions and not getting the 3s was a mishap plus the red and black 12s in suede yuck stop putting out shoes so fast and concentrate on quality. The world is all give your money but imma give an ok product smh

  66. Posted by ThachKnows at January 25, 2010 at 10:44 am

    they were at every shoe store in the mall! i thought these were limited….smh
