Here it is! The photos almost all sneakerheads have been waiting for and our friends at Marquee Sole has the first detailed photos of the shoes since our previous preview of the Air Jordan VI – Black Infrared back in June. During the 1990-1991 NBA season, at the time of their release, Nike was pulling away from their competitors at a startling rate and so was Michael Jordan. These shoes were on his feet as he won his first NBA Championship and his second league MVP. For those who lived through that period, these shoes are definitely something special, this is the first time Jordan Brand has retroed them since 2000. For the new and old Air Jordan heads, you’ll have a chance to grab these come January 2010. Do these photos of the Air Jordan VI Black/Infrared Retro meet your expectations?
Update: These are Black/Varsity Red not Infrared.
Release Date: 01/2010
Color: Black/Varsity Red
Style: 384664-061

August 27th, 2009 at 11:08 am

August 27th, 2009 at 11:09 am
gettin all swol up in da chest… mi favorito!!!
August 27th, 2009 at 11:21 am
just as hideous as they were the first time around. sorry bitches, but the only 6 that looks fly is the FUSION 6, and the 5/8 at that- HOLLA!
August 27th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Very nice… Finally the sixes in that color, Thank God!!!
August 27th, 2009 at 11:29 am
uum, I dont know if its only the picture, but this is not INFRARED … like JAPE said, its varsity red, or chicago bulls red, but no infrared, and thats SUCK !!!
August 27th, 2009 at 11:32 am
so so good!
cannot wait
August 27th, 2009 at 11:44 am
I agree with nick and jape.
a lil disappointed. Infrared would have been better. After all they are supposed to be a RETRO. smh. i hope to god its just the lighting
August 27th, 2009 at 11:46 am
I don’t think MJ won his first ship in the 8s, sorry dude, you’re wrong! Any Jordan fan can tell you MJ won it in the 6s, just look for it on youtube or something.
As for these, I didn’t know they were going to be suede, and not leather or nubuck. As I expected, no NIKE AIR on the back, but I am not surprised about that. Marqueesole is trippin’ selling these for 3 bills. I can wait till Jan 2010 and cop 2 pairs if I can. They are NICE though. Great pics…!
August 27th, 2009 at 11:51 am
U guys are straight up bitchs. All u do is whine. Dont get me wrong I think JB screws up way to much now but these are fresh. Sit there and whine all you want about what shade of red it is that just makes it easier for mE to buy them. GET THE SAND OUT OF YOUR VAGINA BITCHES.
August 27th, 2009 at 11:51 am
well theyre finally coming out with bred 6s
August 27th, 2009 at 11:52 am
to the guy who said the only 6 thats “fly” are fusions…..go f yourself with a rusty knife, then do us all a favor and jump off your nearest bridge, YOU’RE the reason we get floods of crap fusions and weak retros….you’re pathetic and a disgrace to the jordan legacy
August 27th, 2009 at 11:53 am
If yall want Infareds with NIKE on the back just get on ebay and cop for $500+ if its that serious. These will do just fine for me. I better not (hope I) see these at SneakerPimps SF on Saturday .
August 27th, 2009 at 11:56 am

August 27th, 2009 at 12:40 pm

August 27th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
Whatever haters say, Im going to cop this.
As a sneakerhead, this is must have. Finally I found 6 that I can actually wear them.
If you want an original 6, go get them.
These shoes sole will be broke like sand.
August 27th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
“blauw” you are fucking retarded, go back to school!
August 27th, 2009 at 12:57 pm
A true veteran of the game, don’t give a phuck about that infrared b.s.! They’re VI’s, period! Mike’s 1st ring was won in these shoes. So, if U wear Mikes’……………..These must be in your collection, U young bucks tarnish tha game with all that wining! Just copp tha damn shoe!
August 27th, 2009 at 12:59 pm
Aint missin dese or da space jams fo shit!!!!!!!
August 27th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
material looks really cheap but its w.e .imma still get them
August 27th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
You know you sneaker freaks are simply idiots. True story, before these dropped back in 2000, pics came out showing these in a makeup that was not at all retro and everyone cried about it. Now, those same joints are some of the most wanted sample jordans ever, and they look good!!!! If you ask me they should have been varsity red from jump in 1990, but they used infared and they still looked good. Why keep it the exact same? Then you’ll have people with the OG or 2000 retro crying about their pair not being worth anything anymore. They change it up to seperate them from what they used to be. BUt anyone that tells me these still aint hard are just hypebeasts with nothing better to do. Anyway, if you look at Jumpman23.com you’ll see that these are the VI’s featured in the pictures. Trust me these will be copped 2x and in 2018 these will be selling for the same resale as the 2000′s. Smarten up chumps!!
August 27th, 2009 at 2:02 pm
I swear I bought a pair of infared 6s on this website that turned out to be fakes. I was too embarresed to throw them away so their sitting under my bed now and they look exactly like these except the jordan sign on the back is red. Jb really needs to step up their materials when it comes to these Js
August 27th, 2009 at 2:08 pm
Seriously how does the material look cheap? U stupid fake wannabe be thugs need to stop hatin. The material looks fine. The materails are never goig to be as goos as the past because of the Enviroment and animal rights homos. Just get over it. If u dont think these look hot than go kick rocks.
August 27th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
why does it fucking matter if their infrared or not, these shits is hott! point blank period
August 27th, 2009 at 2:19 pm
You cats that are new to the game are not gonna get it, but as someone who has been a fan of this particular colorway of VIs you can instantly see a difference in the material on these when you look at it and it just doesn’t look right
August 27th, 2009 at 2:48 pm
I WANNA CRY !!!! lol
August 27th, 2009 at 2:57 pm
ahhahaha….yall retro kids cant get the o.g. shit re-released. take these bullshits and be happy. u were not around when they actually meant something so keep it movin!
August 27th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
So dont buy them!!!
August 27th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
I think use different materials on retros is not that bad.
I love red 5s and nuback 12s.
This 6s black look dareker than original and I like it.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:51 pm

August 27th, 2009 at 4:35 pm
Why is everybody sweatin’. Didn’t sneakernews have an article not too long ago about the 2010 releases….says there is gonna be a general release of Blk/Varsity Red VI’s AND a Limited Quickstrike release of the infrareds. Search the articles, it should be there somewhere, I know it. I guess these are the GR and the infrareds will come later
August 27th, 2009 at 5:27 pm

August 28th, 2009 at 2:16 pm
dope dope dope! if we all can come to grips that nike is NEVER going to release a retro shoe EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE OG MODEL we can appreciate these alot more… I know I have! ive been wating since 91 for a pair of these.
August 29th, 2009 at 3:21 am
why is it that nike retros are made to a higher standard than JB even though theyre the same damm company.even the icy sole looks like plastic
August 29th, 2009 at 4:52 pm
thought these were varsity red, not infrared
August 29th, 2009 at 5:17 pm
COPPPED!!!!!!!!
August 29th, 2009 at 6:19 pm
I’m mos def coppin’ these after I cop the Space Jam’s!
August 30th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
I will probably end up coppin these but Im not impressed that this shoe has suede on it instead of nubuck and im terrible with suede shoes especially if it has cheap suede on it like most nike shoes. I will cop nevertheless
September 24th, 2009 at 10:29 pm
