NIKE AIR JORDAN 6 × GATORADE

Inspired by the iconic 1991 GATORADE commercial featuring Michael Jordan, the AIR JORDAN 6 "GATORADE" captures the essence of the "Be Like Mike" campaign.

The design is based on the color pattern of the AIR JORDAN 6 RETRO "CARMINE" that Jordan wore in the ad, incorporating elements from the orange-flavored drink he was enjoying, along with the color of the shirt he was wearing.

On the tongue, you'll find a special embroidery featuring the lyrics "IF I COULD BE" from the song "(I Wanna) Be Like Mike" by Teknoe, which played in the background of the commercial. The insole proudly displays the "GATORADE" logo, making this a unique edition of the AIR JORDAN 6.

Additionally, the shoelace strap is designed in the color of a GATORADE squeeze bottle, showcasing meticulous attention to detail, while the insole features the GATORADE logo.

The box itself is adorned with GATORADE's signature orange, making it a standout packaging.

As someone who grew up drinking GATORADE, I find the level of detail in this release incredibly exciting. Besides this colorway, there’s also a version inspired by the classic bottle, featuring a green upper with orange accents from the sole to the upper.
