Air Jordan 6 SPORT BLUE retailed at $170

You’ve known about it for months, but let’s make it official by way of Nike-provided photos: The Air Jordan 6 Sport Blue release date is set for this Saturday, August 30, Nike Roshe Run Store at Jordan accounts nationwide.

Something of a rarity in today’s landscape of constantly-retroing colorways, the Air Max 2013 New Zealand “Sport Blue” is an OG edition of the Air Jordan 6 that has never been re-released. That of course means that, when this mix of white leather, black trim and royal blue accents hits shelves in five days, it’ll be the first time since 1991 you’ll get a shot at a pair at retail.

So take in a slew of new photos today, as you count down the minutes until that Saturday launch. In a year full of must-have Air Jordan 6 releases, is this one of the best?

The Sport Blue VI will hit select retailers nationwide on August 30, including Nike.com beginning at 8am EDT.
