Amid the 35th anniversary of the Air Jordan 6, Jordan Brand has assured fans of the silhouette that there’s plenty on the calendar to speak to the championship-winner: revisiting classics like the “Oreo,” collab efforts like that with Awake NY, and of course, a healthy amount of brand-new editions.

While we count down the days for pairs like the Air Jordan 6 “Cap and Gown,” the brand remains busy in the lab, now revealing the Air Jordan 6 “Xuan Wu.” The concept first trickled into the catalog with the Air Jordan 1 High “Xuan Wu,” revisited less than a year later with a Jordan 1 Low OG. The overarching ties of the series remain clear on this AJ6: a black leather base reveals raw edges and burnished finishes towards the ends of each panel, while earnest formalwear demonstrates its influence with the pocked sidewalls. Gold trim on the Jumpman shroud, lace lock, and insoles add some refined edge and hit on the celebratory air of the two previous AJ1s.

The Air Jordan 6 “Xuan Wu” will likely be an Asia-exclusive release, as those predecessors were once let loose to the public. However, if we receive any word to the contrary, we’ll keep you posted via this page and our Jordan Releases 2026 hub.
