Enjoy summer while it lasts because the fall is approaching rapidly. As a result, we’ve seen labels such as Jordan Brand preview its upcoming lineup of sneakers with even more to come for the holidays. With colder weather on the horizon, the Air Jordan 6 has been equipped with GORE-TEX to brave the elements. The silhouette has chugged along steadily with the “Toro” and “Aqua” looks serving as two of its highlights for 2023.

In “Brown Kelp,” its signature brown is similar to that of the recently-revealed Air Max 90 “Wheat,” covering almost the entirety of the upper. From there, “Court Purple” accents appear at the heel tab, GORE-TEX tag and the Jumpman logos spotted at both the tongue and heel. Its smoother upper is backed by GORE-TEX technology, ensuring that it can resist more rain than a traditional AJ6. Rounding out the look, the sole unit sees black and yellow go back and forth with hits of gum appearing at the outsole.

Hang tight as Jordan Brand has not officially revealed this GORE-TEX version of the Air Jordan 6 in “Brown Kelp.” It’s currently expected to hit shelves on November 29 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a starting price of $250 USD in women’s sizing.
