Air Jordan 6 Retro 'Xuanwu'

The Air Jordan 6 Retro Xuanwu brings a more atmospheric and symbolic character to the iconic basketball silhouette, drawing inspiration from Xuanwu, the Black Tortoise figure associated with protection and strength in Chinese mythology. Light British Khaki suede covers much of the upper, creating an earthy foundation with a textured, weathered appearance. Black accents and Sail elements provide contrast while reinforcing the subdued, rugged aesthetic.

The design gives the Jordan 6 a distinctive sense of depth through its materials and restrained color palette. Signature elements of the silhouette remain intact, including the sculpted midsole, visible Air cushioning, heel pull tab, and recognizable Jordan branding. Rather than relying solely on traditional retro styling, the Xuanwu interpretation uses its visual language and material choices to create a more mysterious and storytelling-driven presentation.

The Air Jordan 6 Retro Xuanwu was released in 2021 with a retail price of $200.
