Air Jordan 6 Retro 'Oreo' Returns August 8 After a 16-Year Absence

Jordan Brand is reaching into the vault this weekend, bringing back the Air Jordan 6 Retro "Oreo" on Saturday, August 8, 2026 — marking the first time the beloved black-and-white colorway has returned since its 2010 debut wwd.com . The release lands in full family sizing, with the adult edition priced at $215 www.designscene.net .
The 2026 edition stays remarkably faithful to the original, pairing a black nubuck base with contrasting white leather overlays across the toe, midfoot, tongue and neoprene lace cover www.designscene.net . The signature speckled detailing — white flecks scattered across the black spoiler-shaped heel tab and sections of the midsole — recreates the "Oreo" identity that made the 2010 edition so coveted among collectors www.designscene.net .
A Championship silhouette
The Air Jordan 6 holds a special place in sneaker lore as the shoe Michael Jordan wore during the 1990–91 season when he captured his first NBA championship www.designscene.net . The retro preserves that heritage with a sculpted side panel, raised tongue, lace lock and heel spoiler, while a lightweight polyurethane midsole with encapsulated Air-Sole cushioning and a visible heel Air unit delivers responsive comfort www.designscene.net . An icy blue Jumpman on the lace lock provides the sole pop of color against the otherwise monochrome palette www.designscene.net .
The "Oreo" brings back the silhouette MJ wore for his first ring, now in a clean black-and-white colorway that drops August 8 www.facebook.com .
The sweetest Air Jordan 6 of 2026 is set for August 8 — the 'Oreo' returns for the first time since 2010.
