Making a retro return for only the second time in 23 years, the Air Jordan 6 “Carmine” is a classic. Since it’s original conception in 1991, the famed Air Jordan 6 has only returned as a part of the 2008 6/17 CDP. Consistent with the prototype up top, the deep red durabuck base and white leather overlays are steady, as are the black rubber tongue and midsole. New additions include a Jumpman symbol swapped in on the heels, and an ice blue outsole for a refreshing modern update. Check out the official photos below before they release May 24th. – Box Kev[more…]

Making its return this May is the iconic Air Jordan 6 Retro “Carmine.” Last seen in 2008 as part of the Collezione Package with the Air Jordan 17 Retro, the AJ6 “Carmine” is set to be one of this year’s most anticipated releases. Sticking true to the original formula, the 2014 “Carmine” features a bold red and white leather upper with black accents and an icy blue translucent sole. Stay tuned for more on this year’s “Carmine” release.[more…]
Last seen as part of the 2008 Countdown Pack, this year’s release of the ‘Carmine’ Air Jordan 6 Retro will arrive with just one slight difference. We see the same Carmine/White and black combination bringing the classic design to life, while a blue-tinted translucent outsole stands as one of the few differences between the OG and first retro versions. The iconic ‘Carmine’ Air Jordan 6 Retro lands at select Jordan Brand accounts on May 24th. Hit the jump to see more! [more…]
Jordan Brand’s formula of bringing back OG colorways twenty-three years after its birth is no hidden formula, so next year’s Air Jordan VI drops should be rather predictable. That doesn’t mean we won’t be excited because the AJ6 is on legendary status with colorways like the “Carmine” bringing some distinct flavor to the heralded Air Jordan III-through-VI club. We can definitely expect said Carmine colorway to return in 2014, and although a release date hasn’t been confirmed, we know you’ll be keeping your eyes on this developing story. From what’s shown here in this super-icy pair, the OG box with the cement print and black top will make a return as well. Let’s hear how bad you want ‘em in the comments area below. –Box Kev [more…]
