Jordan 6 Retro
"Cool Grey"
CT8529-100
A sophisticated Cool Grey color scheme has been paired with high-quality materials on this Jordan 6 Retro to create a highly desirable sneaker. It is constructed upon a white rubber outsole with rows of circular indentations that get shallower as they move from the toe towards the midfoot. More of these grippy features can be seen in the translucent blue sections that cut in from the sides of the forefoot and angle across the heel to forge dynamic lines underfoot. In the center of the outsole is a large Cool Grey Jumpman, and a final white piece caps the heel. This light coloration continues into the polyurethane midsole, as do the translucent sections, which have a blue tinge running through them. Above each of these latter areas, the midsole incorporates Cool Grey ridges, while a clear window in the heel shows off the shoe’s spongy Air cushioning.
The upper brings together a plush layer of Medium Grey nubuck over its front half with a white leather overlay that begins at the back of the midfoot and wraps around the heel to encompass the rear half of the sneaker. Breathable ventilation holes have been pressed into the nubuck around the midfoot between the angular leather overlays that zigzag down each flank. These have eyelets directly stamped into them to host the white laces, with additional ones on the front of the collar. Each ankle is protected with a padded hump of material featuring more perforations that are even bigger than those on the sidewalls. Smaller ones have been positioned both in front and behind it, ahead of the TPU pull tab that loops out of the heel. This last element is decorated in a Cool Grey hue with a raised white band arcing across it, and below it, the fuzzy Medium Grey heel tab is visible. Lower still, a Medium Grey Jumpman leaps over the word Air in the center of the heel, both adornments made of finely stitched embroidery.
Inside, the sneaker is coated in a soft fabric that carries Medium Grey coloring. This applies gentle comfort around the foot, while a white Jumpman resides on the insole. Elsewhere, the large, sturdy tongue returns to the darker shade of Cool Grey, its surface embossed with Jordan Air text along the top, just above two square-shaped holes. As it extends downwards below the white laces, the tongue merges into a mesh material with additional perforations in the bottom that further aid the shoe’s breathability. A glossy Medium Grey lace cover stretches over it, another white Jumpman woven through its center, before a branded lace toggle completes this stylish sneaker by combining the two classy shades of gray found on the rest of the design.
