The Air Jordan 6 is a retro basketball shoe from Jordan Brand that originally released back in 1995 and is signature shoe worn by MJ when he won his first NBA championship.
Fast forward to Summer 2020 and Jordan Brand is this iconic silhouette a “Hare” makeover similar to the design first seen on the Air Jordan 7 “Hare”.

Materials And Color-Blocking
The Air Jordan 6 “Hare” takes its design inspiration directly from the Air Jordan 7 “Hare” which originally payed homage to the Looney Tunes character, Bugs Bunny.
The shoe’s upper consists mainly of light grey and white, with hits of “red” appearing on the tongue, heel tap, and midsole.
Other colors like purple, yellow, and green appear on the lace-lock and frosted tongue that is a direct nod to the Air Jordan 7.
When it comes this shoe’s materials, this shoe features a familiar mix of Retro 6 materials including:
Tumbled Leather
Synthetic Nubuck
Synthetic Textiles
Rubber outsole
Completing the “Hare” theme, the shoe’s special packaging is highlighted by an image of a carrot which is a nod to the famed cartoon character.
Release and Resell Predictions
There are certainly plenty of fans of this shoe, but the verdict is still out on whether or not this shoe will be a smash hit amongst the masses.
Being a “special edition” type shoe, stock numbers will probably be much less than other general release drops, which means sizes may sellout quicker than expect.
My gut tells me that this shoe probably won’t sellout on the first day, but pairs probably won’t sit on shelves long enough to go on sale.
With that being said, most major retailers should have these available for purchase in-store and online, but due to the COVID-19 situation, expect in-store raffles.
