There are less than 100 days left until the opening of this year's Summer Olympics in Paris. Nevertheless, many brands are already drawing attention to upcoming events, including Nike holding a special showcase in Paris last week. In addition to expectations for fierce competition, expectations for Olympic-themed products are also rising. One of his such releases is the return of the Air Jordan 6 “Olympic” colorway, which was first released to commemorate the 2000 Sydney Games.
Last spotted at the 2012 London Games, this pair returns for its third release, revisiting all the key details of the colorway. The tumbled leather upper features a navy blue base and white overlays, paired with hints of red in the Jumpman logo on both the tongue and heel to complete the trio of colors present in the American flag. An icy translucent sole supports the sneaker and completes this short preview of the kicks.
As of this writing, Jordan Brand has not revealed when the Air Jordan VI “Olympic” will hit stores. However, for now, he is scheduled to release during the Paris Summer Olympics on August 3rd via Nike SNKRS and select retailers for a starting price of $200 USD. While we wait for more details on the Swoosh, stay tuned for updates including official visual details for the sneaker.
