Air Jordan 4 Retro-White/Black Cement Could it be that the AJ 6 was worn during MJs first NBA title? Or could it be he won his first NBA Finals MVP? Maybe it is the material, or design of the Air Jordan VI. Which ever it may be, this is one shoe to remember.
On the Air Jordan 6 Michael Jordan gave direct orders to have a clean toe, so Tinker Hatfield made sure the Air Jordan VI had a reinforcement around the toe, making the AJ VI the first basketball model to obtain this. MJ had problems putting on the past five models,

The Air Jordan 6 was the second model to have the clear rubber sole. When the Air Jordan V was released a lot of people complained that their children were falling because the soles would collect dust that was on the court, making the sole slippery. Now on the Air Jordan 6 (VI) Retro Mesh White Black Cement Tinker added a more solid rubber, so this problem would not happen again.
Jordan abruptly retired in 1993 after winning his third NBA Championship with the Chicago Bulls. Nike created a marketing push that involved the creation of Johnny Kilroy, a fictional character that was conspicuously a lot like Jordan. He played like Jordan.

In 2000 three models were re-released of the New Jordans 2012, selling for $120.00, and in 2002 three low top versions came out which sold for $105.00. In 2005 Jordan Brand released a DMP which stands for “Defining Moments Package”, which consisted of the Air Jordan VI and XI. Retail is Supra Shoes.
