Sneaker Talk: Air Jordan 6 “Slam Dunk”

Published on

The Air Jordan 6 “Slam Dunk” released in November 2014, taking its design from the Japanese basketball manga Slam Dunk. The shoe is based on Hanamichi Sakuragi, the red-haired main character who wore the Air Jordan 6 in the series. Jordan Brand also released a matching Jordan Super.Fly 3 and apparel as part of the collection.

Red covers the entire upper, with reflective 3M graphics showing Sakuragi and different scenes from the manga. The artwork is worked into the material and becomes more visible when light hits it. His Shohoku High School jersey number, 10, appears near the ankle in white and red.

The shoe also has an icy blue translucent outsole, a partially clear heel pull tab, and a translucent section on the tongue. A clear lace lock with a red Jumpman finishes the upper. Even the packaging was made specifically for this release, with manga illustrations and sketches printed across the box.

The Air Jordan 6 “Slam Dunk” hasn’t returned since its original 2014 release. Anyone still looking for a pair can check resale platforms such as StockX, where sizes may be available.
