In late April, Sneaker News reported an interesting ‘custom’ Air Jordan VI in which a brave sneakerhead risked the life of his Air Jordan VI Varsity Red and came out with one helluva end-product. The Varsity Red-Infrared transformation was a success! This time, another curious Jordan-phile put his newly acquired Air Jordan VI Lakers to the test: unhappy with the contrast-stitching on the upper, he cleverly painted over the purple/yellow stitching meticulously with a special craft pen. The stitching blended perfectly with the black 3M upper with the result being a black-and-white pair of Air Jordan VI with a suede and 3M upper very much similar to the Air Jordan VI Low Black/Metallic Silver colorway that released in 2002. Check out the some extra pictures of this genius idea and let us know if this custom pair is better than the release. via OriginalJs on NT.

May 13th, 2010 at 9:17 pm
Kudos – ten times better than the regular Lakers!
May 13th, 2010 at 9:19 pm
Oh and I see you left the contrast stitching as is at the top of the toebox … extra Kudos!!
May 13th, 2010 at 9:21 pm
Much Better!
May 13th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
exactly what pen brand and color did he use??? ANYONE? no guessing either, i need the exact one! thanks
May 13th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
agree with nikerules… would cop if they were released… but i was one of the people who was hating on the dude who marked his varsity reds. i think the difference is that this is something new instead of trying people into thinking it was something else… all black is much better…
May 13th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
Like Night and Day…I might buy a pair and do the same.
May 13th, 2010 at 9:34 pm
i knew someone was gonna do this…I may get a pair, do the same thing, and paint the white part w/ an infrared colored marker….they will look more like the infrareds than that friggin DMP w/ the 3m upper and the thin suede…..
May 13th, 2010 at 9:35 pm
Way better hahhaa
May 13th, 2010 at 9:41 pm
hyperfly was released on eastbay
May 13th, 2010 at 9:45 pm

May 13th, 2010 at 9:57 pm
*IRAK NY* LETS BOOST HIZ PAIR…
May 13th, 2010 at 10:00 pm
paint the soles infrared now, where the white is!! that would be straight fiyaaa y0zies
May 13th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
They look a lot better but I would only cop if he changed the AIR on the back.
May 13th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
i would like to see the air on the back nice work
May 13th, 2010 at 10:02 pm

May 13th, 2010 at 10:04 pm
Hell naw fuck these there hard as hell the way they were made yall fucking up jays with this custoim bs jsut as bad as fakes yo got me 2 pairs of lakers and im happy
May 13th, 2010 at 10:06 pm
If they came like this then they would be mine.
May 13th, 2010 at 10:14 pm
definitely better.
May 13th, 2010 at 10:20 pm
def better lookin.
but now it needs a purple jumpman.
May 13th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
hahaha, yup
May 13th, 2010 at 10:37 pm
nah i think thats just cause the pen doesnt blot out all the color. if u look close enough u can see other parts where the stitching shows through a bit. but this is sitll much better than how they released
May 13th, 2010 at 11:04 pm
I would cop if this was the final production.
May 13th, 2010 at 11:19 pm
wow thats not custom at all..I like em the way they are.these are too boring
May 13th, 2010 at 11:27 pm
yesssssssssssssss
May 13th, 2010 at 11:56 pm
these are nice and clean. i still think it should have been white contrast stitching originally.
May 14th, 2010 at 12:41 am
good job. this makes me "consider" grabbing a pair. would still have to get a great deal to take a pen to it though.
May 14th, 2010 at 12:43 am
JB hire that man fasssst!
May 14th, 2010 at 3:18 am
mind you. we were always coloring out shoes, stiches, etc back in the day with sharpies.
May 14th, 2010 at 5:38 am
I wanna see how the marker affected the 3M reflective qualities, if it dulls it in the slightest. *FAIL
May 14th, 2010 at 7:05 am
WAY BETTA—-LAKERS WERE FUGLY!!!!!
May 14th, 2010 at 8:48 am
Thats not too hard to do, just need to get a thin felt tip sharpie marker, no way you can really mess this up, its black on black. im def doing it.
May 14th, 2010 at 9:12 am
yep i been sayin these shoes are hot if they removed that rainbow stitching. man id buy these for real.
May 14th, 2010 at 10:14 am
Ok where the heck can I get that pen because that is the only way I’ll buy these! Nice job man!
May 14th, 2010 at 12:01 pm
sneakerhead genius. great idea. turned out perfectly.
May 14th, 2010 at 12:07 pm

May 14th, 2010 at 12:58 pm
hahaha @kdub your right! JB needs to hire this guy ASAP!!!!
May 14th, 2010 at 12:58 pm
Dis is the shit!!! i def doing this to my pair after i get them when they benn sittin 4 a while!!! and the price drops!!! i seen some custom oreo's they look fly
May 14th, 2010 at 2:38 pm
they look so much better.
May 14th, 2010 at 2:50 pm
damm way better then the ugly ass lakers
May 14th, 2010 at 5:21 pm
that would be dumb, no they wouldnt
May 14th, 2010 at 5:22 pm
Are you people retarted. I would never touch a brand new sneaker with a marker. If I didn't like the CW I would not buy it and get something else. Why would you buy something only to intentionally damage it. People that said they would do this are probably the same people who would buy fakes! Fakers.
May 14th, 2010 at 5:59 pm
very f-in nice betta dan original
May 15th, 2010 at 6:33 am
U jackalope!
May 15th, 2010 at 1:29 pm
He did exactly what I did (custom v reds/infrareds) he decided to change something he didn't like about the shoe..i don't see any thing wrong with that… dope
May 15th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
what kinda marker does he use??
May 15th, 2010 at 11:36 pm
DON'T YOU NO SWAGG HAVING JORDAN COLLECTORS GET TIRED OF BLACK AND WHITE 6'S OR MOSTLY BLACK 6'S. THE LAKERS STITCHING MADE THE SHOE UNIQUE FOOL!
May 16th, 2010 at 7:55 pm
mann these are hott… they shud've made em like dis
May 17th, 2010 at 5:40 am
the shoe looks plain and simple now. why would you buy them if you don’t like them how they were (dumb niggas) and that defeats the purpose of them being the Laker 6′s dumbasses. i’m with frankluasky
May 17th, 2010 at 11:26 am
JB need to be taking notes these look way better then the original laker 6′s
May 17th, 2010 at 8:13 pm
