Air 23 – Air Jordan Release Dates, Foamposite, Air Max, and More

Jordan Brand has gotten creative with the Air Jordan 6 to create a new colorway that not only sneakerheads, but manga fans can appreciate as well. This new colorway takes inspiration from none other than Takehiko Inoue’s Slam Dunk, manga, which began in 1990. It centers around aspiring basketball player Hanamichi Sakuragi (who also rocks the Infrared Air Jordan VI) and his quest to be the best player on the Shohoku High basketball team. While only a few chapters were translated into English after the series ended in Japan, Slam Dunk remains as one of the most popular manga series of all time, with millions of graphic novels sold and a hit anime series.

Using Sakuragi an inspiration, this pair has received a bright red upper, overlaid with a 3M reflective graphic of Sakuragi on the side. Red laces and a white and red sole have been applied as well. At the moment, no release info has been announced, but keep checking back for updates.
