“Sport Blue” Air Jordan 6<\/strong> set to appear on shelves after a 23-year hiatus, we explore a chronological timeline of the 90s’ blue, original Air Jordans.<\/p>\nAir Jordan VI “Sport Blue”<\/h1>\n
Original Release: 1991
\nOriginal Price: $125<\/p>\n
After producing two, blue original classics – the “True Blue” Air Jordan 3 and the “Military Blue” Air Jordan 4 – Nike bypassed the hue on the original makeups of MJ’s fifth signature sneaker. It wasn’t neglected for long, as the “Sport Blue” Air Jordan 6 was created as one of six original colorways of the Air Jordan 6.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Air Jordan VIII “Aqua”<\/h1>\n
Original Release: 1993
\nOriginal Price: $125<\/p>\n
One of the few non-traditional colorways Michael Jordan wore on court, the bluish-green “Aqua” Air Jordan 8 – one of three original colorways of this cross-strap silhouette, was debuted by His Airness during the 1993 NBA All-Star Game. Jordan would go on to score 30 in this “Aqua” 8, a shoe that matched perfectly with the All-Star Game jerseys of that respective year in Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Air Jordan IX “Dark Powder Blue”<\/h1>\n
Original Release: 1993
\nOriginal Price: $125<\/p>\n
Military, Sport, True and other shades of ‘Jordan’ blue were put on hold in 1993 for the return to the North Carolina-esque Dark Powder pigment on the Air Jordan 9. It was the first time a Jordan shoe featured the classic ‘Carolina Blue’ colorway since the Air Jordan 1\u00a0in 1985.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Air Jordan X “City Series” (Charlotte, New York, Orlando)<\/h1>\n
<\/p>\n
Original Release: 1994-95
\nOriginal Price: $125<\/p>\n
When the Air Jordan X originally released, Michael Jordan was still in retirement mode from the game of basketball. Black\/Red and\/or White\/Red was one and the same\u00a0with MJ’s sneakers at that point, but the absence of Jordan on the court gave Nike a chance to<\/span>\u00a0create some special colorways of the X for a select group of players in the league who played for other teams, including Mitch Richmond, Nick Anderson and Harold Minor. The retail versions of this new-color crop would be known as the \u201cCity Series\u201d, consisting of colorways for New York, Orlando, Charlotte, Miami\/Chicago, Seattle and Sacramento.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Air Jordan XI “Columbia”<\/h1>\n
Original Release: 1996
\nOriginal Price: $125<\/p>\n
Much like the “Aqua” Air Jordan 8, the “Columbia” Air Jordan 11 is one of the few blue-accented sneakers that MJ wore on court. Again, the All-Star Game served as the platform for the debut of this beloved Air Jordan 11 colorway. Michael wore these during the 1996 NBA All-Star Game in San Antonio.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Air Jordan XII “Obsidian”<\/h1>\n
Original Release: 1997
\nOriginal Price: $135<\/p>\n
Two new shades, French Blue and Obsidian, were introduced on this shoe, one of the five original Air Jordan XII colorways.\u00a0It serves\u00a0as the only original Air Jordan XII colorway that Michael Jordan has never worn in an NBA game.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Air Jordan XIII “Flint”<\/h1>\n
Original Release: 1998
\nOriginal Price: $150<\/p>\n
With the 1997-98 NBA season being Michael Jordan’s last in a Bulls uniform, Jordan Brand began delving into new colorways much more. For the second year in a row, French Blue was very much a part of an original Air Jordan. This time, in addition to the French Blue, University Blue was incorporated on the tongue, serving as a nod to his Carolina days.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Air Jordan XIII Low Navy\/Metallic Silver-Black-Carolina Blue<\/h1>\n
Original Release: 1998
\nOriginal Price: $130<\/p>\n
This particular Air Jordan XIII Low was the first time the shade of navy was integrated on an original Jordan signature shoe, and it also featured minimal Carolina Blue hints throughout the upper.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Air Jordan XIV Low “Colombia Blue”<\/h1>\n
Original Release: 1999
\nOriginal Price: $130<\/p>\n
An undeniable salute to MJ’s UNC days, the Air Jordan XIV Low “Columbia Blue” was part of an 8-sneaker original rollout of Michael’s 14th Air Jordan model.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Air Jordan XIV Low “Varsity Royal”<\/h1>\n
Original Release: 1999
\nOriginal Price: $130<\/p>\n
Following Sport, Columbia, Aqua and the other shades of blue featured on some of the original Jordans, Varsity Royal suede made its first appearance on an original Jordan by way of this Air Jordan XIV Low. This summer release, which later adopted the the \u2018Laney\u2019 nickname as a nod to the high school MJ attended, is arguably one of the better colorways of this silhouette.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
