The Drop
The Jordan 6 Retro "Reverse Oreo" (CT8529-112) flips the iconic '91 colorway on its head—literally. Where the OG "Oreo" rocked a white leather base with black accents, this inversion goes black tumbled leather with white hits on the midsole and lace locks. It's Team Jordan's nod to the heads who know the Six's silhouette inside-out, keeping MJ's first championship shoe in rotation without straight-up retroing the original.
Resell Verdict
Currently trading around $179, this pair sits comfortably in weekend-flip territory. The $103–$356 ask range shows volatility—condition and size matter here more than hype. With 72 weekly orders, it's got steady turnover but won't make you rich overnight. Stable performer for quick cash, not a long-term hold. Das ist ein solider Einstieg für neue Reseller, aber kein Grail-Level profit.
Fake Tells
- ▸Heel tab stitching: Reps often botch the Jordan embroidery spacing and font weight
- ▸Tumbled leather texture: Authentic pairs have consistent, natural grain; fakes feel plasticky or over-embossed
- ▸Midsole paint edges: Legit pairs show clean separation between black and white—reps bleed or show sloppy masking
Who It's For
Daily wearers who want Six heritage without the $400+ Infrared or Carmine tax. Perfect for the Bundesliga-to-brunch crowd who values comfort and a monochrome fit over loud statement pieces.
Sizing & Fit
Jordan 6s run true to size for most, though wide-footers should consider going up half—the molded ankle collar doesn't give much.
