Tinker Hatfield created another classic when he conceived the Air Jordan 6<\/strong>. Again placing emphasis on stellar design, this pair packed premium materials and a clear outsole. The most noticeable new element featured on the Air Jordan 6 is the shoe’s trademark rubber tongue, which bears two holes to allow the wearer to easily slide into its sock-like lining. Since the sneaker’s debut back in 1991, fans have been in love with this legendary silhouette. More importantly, the Air Jordan 6 was the sneaker that launched MJ high enough to capture that illusive first NBA Championship against the Los Angeles Lakers.<\/p>\n

23 years later, nothing has changed when it comes to how people feel about the Air Jordan 6.  As we anticipate new and OG colorway releases after the reveal of the “World Cup Brazil” Air Jordan 6, we decided to re-visit the sixth chapter in the Air Jordan legacy to rank our 15 favorite pairs that have dropped thus far. Skim through our Air Jordan 6 rankings, and be sure to let us know your top picks in the comment section.<\/p>\n
