Nike Air Jordan 6 Six Rings Black / Gold
Product Description:
The Jordan Six Rings, releasing in mid-August,
combines the Air Jordan VI, VII, VIII, XI, XII, XIII and
XIV all into one shoe set to retail for $150. Those
models, of course, were worn by Michael during
his six championship runs throughout the 1990s.
The recognizable XIII tooling makes up the mid
sole and outsole, and the iconic XI upper can be
seen in the black patent leather rand and black
cordura mesh panel. The top two eyelets are
inspired by the VIII and XII, with a portion of the VIII
strap and XII lace clip providing a snug fit along the
collar. There's perforations from the VII along the
patent overlay, and the VI can be seen in the
rubberized heel pull tab and removable lace lock
along the tongue. While subtle, the XIV actually
inspired the toe's shape, as at the bottom of the
lacing set-up, the shape of the Six Rings draws
from the XIV's toe cap. Designed by Octavio Lubrano,
the Six Rings is yet another hybrid concept building
upon the success of the Dub Zero and Spiz'ike.
Love it or hate it, the hybrid models appear to be
here to stay.
