Commercial Success of the Air Jordan 6
During the 1991 Playoffs, Jordan wore the Black/Infrared colorway. The sneakers were advertised through a series of black-and-white commercials featuring director Spike Lee as the character Mars Blackmon. One of these spots included Rock & Roll Hall of Fame musician Little Richard as a genie who turns Mars Blackmon into Michael Jordan. The NBA superstar also wore the White/Carmine colorway in a popular Gatorade commercial that introduced the "Like Mike" theme song.
Rappers and hip-hop artists have also embraced the Air Jordan 6. In 2004, Kanye West wore the Black/Infrared AJ 6 in his All Falls Down music video. Other musicians who have collaborated on the shoe include Travis Scott and Macklemore, the latter having an exclusive, limited quantity run created for friends and family that never got released at retail.
The Jordan 1 Flight 5 Grey was released in 2017 and promised to be anything but ordinary. This Jordan 1 Grey dynamically combines the J1 signature sloping mid-top silhouette and J5 perforated leather overlays. Synthetic and genuine leather comprise the remainder of the uppers. You can expect generous encapsulated air foam cushioning through the midsole. The shoe has a textured dark wolf grey color next to the white and grey shades of the upper. A "Jumpman" logo is on the padded tongue, outer collar, and footbed of each Jordan 1 sneaker. The finale is a "2" and "3" in block relief on the heel of the left and right sneaker, respectively.
