Jordan 6 Retro Aqua

Jordan 6 Retro 'Aqua' — Black / Bright Concord / Aquatone (CT8529-004)

The Air Jordan 6 Retro 'Aqua' is part of Jordan Brand's ongoing tradition of transplanting iconic colorways from one silhouette onto another. Released on October 7, 2023, this pair borrows the Black/Bright Concord/Aquatone palette made famous by the Air Jordan 8 'Aqua' — a colorway originally worn during the 1993 NBA All-Star Game — and applies it to the Air Jordan 6 for the first time. The release also arrived in the context of the Aqua scheme's broader 2023 resurgence, which had already seen the palette land on the Air Jordan 5 earlier that year.

The upper is built from black nubuck with tonal overlays, keeping the base clean and dark. Bright Concord purple appears on the embroidered Jumpman at the tongue and on the lace toggle, while Aquatone teal wraps the midsole around the visible Air unit at the heel and forefoot. An icy translucent outsole, Air Jordan heel branding, and a purple-background insole featuring an Aquatone Jumpman round out the design details. The Air Jordan 6 was originally designed by Tinker Hatfield and debuted in 1991 as Michael Jordan's on-court shoe during his fifth NBA season.
