Jordan Brand has updated one of its original Air Jordan styles and applied it onto a different Jordan silhouette for an upcoming release.
Sneaker leak social media account @knowing_kicks shared images of the Air Jordan 6 “Aqua,” a new iteration of NBA legend Michael Jordan’s sixth signature shoe that’s reportedly releasing this fall.
As the name of the colorway suggests, the Air Jordan 6 “Aqua” appears to be inspired by the original Air Jordan 8 “Aqua” makeup that first released in 1993.
The Air Jordan 6 “Aqua” dons a stealthy black-based nubuck upper that’s contrasted by purple hits on the tongue’s Jumpman branding and on a portion of the heel’s pull tab. The standout element of the shoe is the teal and purple midsole while a translucent blue outsole sits below.

In related Air Jordan news, an unreleased Air Jordan 2 prototype is currently up for auction.
