HIGHLIGHTS: Premium black nubuck construction with metallic silver chrome accents creates versatile lifestyle-ready aesthetic Championship heritage silhouette from Michael Jordan’s first NBA title season elevated with reflective detailing Secondary market offers extensive size availability with moderate resale pricing across multiple platforms The Air Jordan 4 Black Cats own the month of November. There’s no getting around it. The re-release of the iconic sneaker is firmly in the heads of many sneakerheads that it can make you forget about some of the other black beauties Jordan brand has produced and are still available. Case in point, the Air Jordan 6 “Chrome” might be the prettiest six ever–if you dig a predominantly black sneaker. It’s not as fully committed to the black all-over look that has people fiending for the Black Cats. But it is really sleek and it’s lighter trim augments the look all the more. It’s available. Let’s talk sneakers.

Air Jordan 6 ‘Chrome’ NERD LORE According to WearTesters and DTLR, the Chrome variant features a predominantly black nubuck or suede upper with metallic silver/chrome accents on lace locks, heel tabs, midsole elements and Jumpman logos. The Air Jordan 6 traces back to 1991, when Michael Jordan used the model to capture his first NBA championship ring, immortalizing the sneaker in basketball and pop-culture lore. From that moment, the AJ6 became a foundational part of the Jordan Brand retro ecosystem. According to Sneaker Bar Detroit, the 2015 Low Chrome version dropped August 29, 2015, at approximately $175 retail. A later full-cut version released in 2022 in Black/Metallic Silver renewed the Chrome look with lace shrouds, heel tabs and a black midsole featuring silver plating details. Material construction includes nubuck/synthetic uppers, visible Air-Sole units in the heel, translucent “icy” outsoles in many versions, and chrome plating accents designed to deliver a premium, dressable finish. The Chrome edition takes the AJ6’s historic performance heritage and dresses it in a premium, lifestyle-friendly package. The metallic silver/chrome touches elevate it from pure court functionality to street-worthy shine, with the contrast of dark base and reflective silver creating versatility—dressy but rooted in hoops DNA. Because some releases come as low-top/low-cut and others as full silhouette, checking style codes becomes essential when hunting for specific versions. Tempting but Pricey With prices a bit too close to $400 for my size 14, I’m not inclined to make the leap for the Chrome 6s. That said, this one pushes me about as close to breaking my sneaker price rule as any shoe I can remember.
