AJ6 Retro Carmine

AJ6 Retro Carmine

Nike Air Is Back After 30 Years

The Carmine first appeared in 1991 during MJ’s championship run, then came back in 2008 inside a Countdown Pack and again in 2014 as a standalone retro. Neither of those carried Nike Air on the heel. The 2021 Jordan 6 Carmine (CT8529-106) finally brought the original heel branding back, and that alone made it the most accurate retro of this colorway to date. White leather overlays sit over a Carmine red nubuck base, with black on the tongue, liner, and midsole. Translucent icy blue outsole finishes it off. Dropped February 13, 2021 at $200.

Compared to the 2014 pair, the red is slightly deeper and the leather panels feel smoother. Some early retail pairs had a midsole color inconsistency, but that was addressed quickly. Standard fit, no need to size up. Find more on the Jordan 6 reps page. Visit our sneaker reps store.
