Joining the iconic Air Jordan 4 “Military Blue” and the Air Jordan 1 High OG “Green Glow” for Summer 2024 is the eagerly anticipated Air Jordan 6 “Reverse Oreo.” This new colorway brings a fresh yet nostalgic twist to the classic silhouette, maintaining the hallmark two-tone aesthetic that has become synonymous with the Air Jordan brand. The “Reverse Oreo” features a pristine white leather upper accented with black details on the tongue, lace toggle, pull tab, and midsole. Adding to its charm, the black highlights on the pull tab and milky midsole come with a speckled finish reminiscent of cookies ‘n cream, a playful nod to its namesake.
The Air Jordan 6 “Reverse Oreo” draws its inspiration from the original Air Jordan 6 Retro “Oreo,” which was first released in 2010. The 2010 version was part of a trio of retro releases that celebrated the Air Jordan 6 silhouette. The original “Oreo” featured black underlays, white overlays, and speckled detailing on the midsole, creating a striking visual contrast. The 2024 iteration flips this classic color scheme, offering a new version of the classic.
