Vintage Gear: Air Jordan 6 “Sport Blue” – 1991

Air Jordan 6 “Sport Blue” continued the blue-shaded alternate colorway trend that Tinker Hatfield began in 1988 with Air Jordan 3. By the time these hit in 1991, the basketball sneaker buying public was continuing to branch away from the traditional black and red colorways into more blue, purple, neon green – which fit the Sport Blues ideally. Along with Air Jordan 6 “Maroon,” Sport Blue never saw Michael Jordan’s feet for an NBA game. Surviving pairs can still be found – score these rarities now on eBay.
