Jordan Brand’s in the midst of celebrating not only the 40th anniversary of the Air Jordan 1, but the 35th anniversary of the Air Jordan 5 as well. While both shoes are focal points of its 2025 lifestyle lineup, it looks like the Jumpman team is busy working away at preparing for next year’s 35th anniversary celebration of the Air Jordan 6.
Of the new batch of rumors to surface this week, one report from zSneakerHeadz and Sneaker Files notes that the “Reverse Infrared” colorway will be dropping next year. The adjusted take on the “Infrared” colorway was first created in 2000 and is now said to be made available to the public for the first time. Key adjustments from the OG look are expected to include “Infrared” present at the forefoot’s larger midsole segment, switching places with the standard black, as well as at the heel’s Nike Air branding.
At the time of writing, Jordan Brand has not yet confirmed that the “Reverse Infrared” colorway of the Air Jordan 6 will be releasing next year. Stay tuned for more details, including a first look at the pair, as it is currently expected to drop next February via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a starting price of $210 USD.
