The Air Jordan 6 “Olympics” Returns Just In Time For The Paris Summer Games

Starting with the 7 in 1992, USA-themed Air Jordans have always been fan favorites. The second silhouette to don the Red, White, and Blue was the Air Jordan 6 in 2000 for the Summer Games in Sydney. This time, it wasn’t Michael Jordan but team Jumpman representatives Ray Allen and Vin Baker wearing them on their way to a gold medal. 2000 was a time period when retro sneakers were still new, and new releases often featured Air Jordan silhouettes in new palettes for the first time in history. The AJ6 “Olympics” delivered a brand new colorway with “Carmine” color blocking as a nod to the pair MJ wore during a photo shoot for the Dream Team in 1992.

The Air Jordan 6 ‘”Olympics” made its first return in 2012 to celebrate the London Olympics. It returns on August 3 at 7 AM PST for $200.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
