Jordan Brand added a premium metallic gold colorway to the Air Jordan 6 lineup in January 2026, giving the 1991 championship silhouette a luxe treatment that elevated it beyond its usual sport palette. The Air Jordan 6 was Michael Jordan’s first championship shoe, making any quality reissue feel significant.
Metallic gold hits across the upper and sole unit gave the shoe a statement presence, while the clean overall execution kept it from crossing into costume territory. The Jordan 6’s distinctive design, including its tongue loop and clear outsole, translated beautifully into the new colorway.
The Air Jordan 6 Metallic Gold retailed at $225 and released January 24, 2026 through Nike SNKRS and Jordan Brand retailers.
