Air Jordan 6 Retro 'Reverse Infrared' – 35th Anniversary (CT8529-001)

Air Jordan 6 Retro ‘Reverse Infrared’ – 35th Anniversary

From the archives. The Air Jordan 6 Retro ‘Reverse Infrared’ (CT8529-001) surfaces after decades in the vault to mark the AJ6’s 35th anniversary — and it arrives with a story most sneaker fans have never had a chance to own. Originally catalogued as the ‘Infrared Salesman Sample’ in a 1999 sample catalogue, this colourway flips the Jordan 6 classic on its head: reversed accents on the midsole, bright Light Crimson branding on the heel, and collector-grade sample documentation built directly into the shoe.

The sample tag and “Not For Resale” stamp on the inner collar aren’t just aesthetic choices — they’re a direct reference to the shoe’s origin. A colourway that was never supposed to reach the public, now finally in hand.

Key Features

• Upper: Genuine and synthetic leather with textile materials — the AJ6’s classic mixed-material construction
• Colourway: Reversed Infrared accents on the midsole — the classic AJ6 palette, flipped
• Branding: Bright Light Crimson branding on the heel — the reversal’s most visible callout
• Collector Detail: Sample tag and “Not For Resale” stamp on the inner collar — archival documentation worn on the shoe itself
• Jumpman: Jumpman branding throughout
• Cushioning: Nike Air technology for responsive, proven underfoot comfort
• Closure: Lace closure
• Outsole: Rubber outsole for reliable multi-surface traction

The ‘Reverse Infrared’ is a piece of Jordan Brand history that almost never existed — 35 years on, it’s finally yours.
