NBA 2K17 Kicks: The Many Ways The Air Jordan 6 Gatorade Could Go Right (Or Wrong)

Later this year, a reported Air Jordan 6 colorway is dropping that will borrow the colors of the world’s most famous sports drink, Gatorade. Decked out in green, orange, and white, the retro is hopefully going to show us what it’s like to Be Like Mike, the famous Gatorade commercial were MJ is seen wearing a pair of Carmine 6s. In an era where virtually everything related to MJ is getting a tribute sneaker, whether it be movies to shattered backboards to Chinese New Year, what’s most amazing about the Air Jordan 6 Gatorade is not that we’re finally getting a sneaker that references one of Michael Jordan’s most famous endorsement deals, but that it took so long to come to fruition. Maybe because green, orange, and white on an Air Jordan 6 sounds like a great idea, until you actually have to execute.

It’s certainly taken a turn for the colorful over the past few years, but many of the most talked about and beloved Air Jordan 6 colorways have skewed towards simplicity over the flash. Not that the Air Jordan 6 All-Star colorway is bad by any means, but there’s why that retro continues to drop in price but other more sedated drops like this past weekend’s Air Jordan 6 Alternate garners more attention. With a green, orange, and white palette, we’ve already seen two potential ways the shoe could go. So in this week’s edition of NBA 2K17 Kicks, we’re taking a look at the many ways the potential Air Jordan 6 can go right and the ways it can go oh-so-wrong.

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: This is my favorite style of Jordans and in an all-black theme, it’s a really versatile pair. I missed out on the original release, so I’ll most likely go for this version.

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: I’m not a big fan of the 13’s in a low-top form, although, this pair is pretty clean. You can’t go wrong with the colorway. I’ll consider purchasing at a lower price.

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: It’s always cool to see original designs revived. I prefer this leather version a lot more than the recent mesh iteration. Even though it’s almost similar to the Black Cats, the subtle hit of green is a nice touch.

Release Date: November 2017

Author’s Take:

Renz Ofiaza, News: It was a cool move on Jordan Brand to produce something exclusive for a good cause. This style is my favorite from the line and I’m pretty biased towards this offering in general. I’m glad it’ll finally be available to the public this time around.

The Air Jordan 12 Low Wolf Grey Will Release This Weekend

This weekend most of the attention will be focused on people trying to get their hands on the atmos x Air Jordan 3 x Air Max 1 Pack or just the Air Max 1 atmos Elephant that will also release individually. But Jordan Brand will also be releasing a little something on their own.
