The Air Jordan 6 Retro 'Bordeaux' takes on a familiar color scheme tied to the shoe's successor, the Air Jordan 7. A soft nubuck construction is used on the upper, with a neutral gray base with contrasting black overlays. The translucent tongue features a multi-color print that replicates the look of the AJ7's neoprene tongue, while burgundy accents land on the throat and molded heel tab. Lightweight cushioning arrives via the visible Air-Sole unit located in the heel of a gray and black polyurethane midsole.
