Nike is bringing back the Air Jordan 6 Retro OG in its Sport Blue colorway for 2027, restoring the original Nike Air branding to the design for the first time. It is a small correction with outsized meaning for anyone who has chased this shoe for decades: the version finally matching the archive, not just the silhouette. No red carpet required for this one — the shoebox is the occasion.

With reporting from Footwear News.
