In Retrospect: Air Jordan 6 “Detroit Pistons”

Posted: 17 Apr 2011 11:13 AM PDT

Air Jordan 6 Detroit Pistons

Over the years, Jordan Brand has drawn inspiration from special, memorable moments in Michael Jordan’s career. One of the more recent JB-to-MJ nods is the various packs inspired by his 60+ point performances. Last year, Jordan Brand released a couple of Air Jordan 6 colorways inspired by the teams MJ scored 60 points or more on such as this Air Jordan 6 "Detroit Pistons". Specifically, MJ once scored 61 points to help the Bulls defeat the Pistons in the 1991 NBA Eastern Conference Finals. While this colorway of the Air Jordan 6 did not receive as much attention as the “Infrared” Air Jordan 6 Pack and the “Motorsports” Air Jordan 6, it was still well-received by many. It features a two-textured, black/patent leather base with a blue/red Pistons color scheme throughout the sole.

Did you purchase the Air Jordan 6 “Detroit Pistons”, and was it worth $150? If not, are you wishing you would have snagged them last April? How does this colorway rank amongst the other Air Jordan 6s that released last year ("Lakers", “Motorsports”, “Infrared”)? Lastly, was this one of your favorite Air Jordan Retro releases of 2010? Let us know your thoughts on the Air Jordan 6 “Detroit Pistons” in the comment section below!

Nice Kicks Staff Picks

Like so many weeks we’ve had this spring, tons of great kicks dropped, were previewed and seen in detail over the past seven days. The Nice Kicks team each had their favorites, ranging from grey hoops sneakers to a collaborative runner inspired by American royalty. Which was your favorite? Tell us in the comments section.

Nike LeBron 8 V2 Low "Metallic Silver"

This shoe is unbelievably hot on its own, and not because it shares the same colors as the Jordan 11. Put me down for a pair this summer.

Kicks On Court Weekly Recap

Our Kicks On Court column spotted multiple sneakers on court for the first time this week. Gilbert Arenas laced up the “Taxi” Air Jordan 12 Low just one day after its quickstrike release. Kevin Durant was spotted in a fan-made NikeiD version of the KD III, and Kobe Bryant finally debuted the “China” Nike Zoom Kobe VI. Lastly, Rajon Rondo became the first player to rock the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011, and Nate Robinson pulled out a classic Air Jordan 12 colorway. Check out today’s Kicks On Court Weekly Recap.

Gilbert Arenas wearing the "Taxi" Air Jordan 12 Low

Gilbert Arenas has been the first to debut multiple sneakers on the NBA courts. At the beginning of this week, our Kicks On Court spotted the guard rocking the “Taxi” Air Jordan 12 Low just one day after its release. Did you purchase or pass on this shoe?

Kevin Durant in a new NikeiD Zoom KD III

Last year, Kobe Bryant laced up a one-of-a-kind Zoom Kobe V creation that was designed by the winner of the NikeiD contest winner. This year, Kevin Durant was the benefactor of a lucky fan’s creation. In a game against the Lakers, he laced up a fan-made iD version of the KD III dressed in black, orange and blue.

Rajon Rondo wearing the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011

We all know what Rajon Rondo did for the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse during the 2010 NBA Playoffs. Maybe Nike sees a similar execution with the Nike Zoom Hyperfuse 2011. Rondo became the first player in the NBA to rock this shoe on the court. What are your preliminary thoughts on this shoe?

Nate Robinson wearing the "French Blue" Air Jordan 12

In 2009, Jordan Brand blessed with a few beloved Air Jordan 12 colorways such as the “Flue Game”, the “Nubuck”, the White/Varsity Red and the “Rising Sun”. However, we’re sure you would have been even more happier if this “French Blue” Air Jordan 12 returned as well. We must give props to Nate Robinson for bringing this shoe out.
