Air Jordan 6 'White Infrared' Release Date (2026)
A classic returns from 1991.ByAaron ShamimFeb 17, 2026

The Air Jordan 6 'White Infrared' is set to make a triumphant return in November 2026, marking 35 years since Michael Jordan first debuted the silhouette in 1991. As one of the defining models from Jordan’s early championship era, the 'White Infrared' remains a fan favorite and a cornerstone of the Air Jordan 6 legacy.
This marks the fourth re-release of the colorway. Previous retros in 2010 and 2014 delivered nostalgia but faced scrutiny over altered shapes and branding tweaks. For 2026, Jordan Brand promises a faithful OG restoration, returning to the original 1991 mold and reinstating the classic Nike Air logo on the heel. Fans can expect the crisp white leather upper, bold infrared accents on the midsole, lace lock, heel tab, and tongue, plus subtle black highlights to balance the palette. A translucent icy outsole completes the look, preserving the iconic AJ6 aesthetic.

The design not only celebrates its history but also reinforces why the Jordan 6 has endured as a performance and lifestyle icon. From its sculpted silhouette to its championship-era ties, the 'White Infrared' is as relevant today as it was over three decades ago. Within Jordan Brand’s expansive 2026 catalog, which includes the recently released 'Infrared Salesmasn,' and premium 'Bin 23' editions, this OG drop stands out as a must-have for collectors and fans alike.
