Air Jordan VI White Infrared - November 7, 2026

[JRepp23]

We all know the pairs released and worn were not a pink look at all. But his promo pics may have been. Early samples maybe that JB ran with to retro that are now looked down on. Possible?

In, can’t wait but Holiday next year is a long time. And $215

Next year? These are a summertime shoe

Seems like most of the good stuff is in the second half of 2026 so far, these TB3’s, Flint/HGG 13’s. Chicago 13’s and reverse infrareds are early. Wonder what 7’s we will see if any and when.

This as well.

Don’t look pink to me at all lol
Maybe just my eye, but they look red

 

[jordan4eva23]

Pink

No pink

But, we all definitely know he is wearing red shorts

This is like the Royal or concord Jumpman on the spacejams

Possible sure. Highly unlikely imo for a couple of reasons.
1. The original inspiration was MJ’s 993 Turbo s which was red.
2. No samples exist showing a pink hue that I’m aware of.
3. Old cameras from early 90’s lack the tech necessary to filter for any color on the fluorescent scale. Heck, even cameras today have trouble picking up the fluorescent spectrum. So pics of old tinker VI sketches are gonna wash out the actual infrared color used.
4. Seems like your missing those infrapinks from 2014 lol

How Tinker came to use infrared is a question I’d love to see him answer. My guess is he wanted something to stand out and fluorescent colors were big in the early 90’s.

How many of yall would lose it if they did this

They’re not but I’ve actually seen a comment stating they should do this; Gen Z holds no bounds

What a devious, diabolical thing to do us. Just give us the og first and then they can do a reverse white infrared. I’d imagine that the midsole would have the highlights that the black infras have plus the infra Nike Air. But no. Og first.

I’d also be pissed at not only the brand but also the leakers for not knowing ish and not letting us know from the beginning.

Really hope not.

Looks better with the infrared Nike Air, shoulda been like that on the originals, but it wasn’t, so….

Agreed, a different Nike Air color than the shoe always looks better IMO. They're not going to do it anyway, but even if they did I would still cop.

Not always… I don’t dislike it on the reverse infrareds, but prefer it as it originally was, just adds to the stealthy look. On the white infrareds, it makes it less plain.

I guess it works on the 6 cuz the Nike Air is flat, but it would be terrible on the 3s and 4s if it was the same color as the upper and back tab. Just my opinion though.

 

[OldManJays]

It’s interesting that all the 5 colorways had contrasting NA on the heel, but that changed for the 6 (except the Carmines). Probably because they were heading towards Jordan’s becoming its own entity.

That’s the exact reason.

 

[OldManJays]

I do think a contrasting NA would have set the OG 6’s off even more if I’m honest. Still, the black Infared 6 is my 3rd favorite shoe of all time.
