Jordan 6 Retro Craft Paris Olympics Pearl

The Jordan 6 Retro Craft Paris Olympics Pearl is a premium-materials 6 in a soft pearl tone, tied to the Paris Olympics. Buy it if you want upgraded materials on the 6 at a price below most standard retros.

Craft is Jordan Brand's material line, so expect richer suede or nubuck and cleaner construction than a general release. The 6's architecture is intact: the moulded heel tab with the pull loop, the two lace lock holes in the tongue, visible Air unit in the heel and a translucent outsole. Tinker Hatfield designed it in 1991 for the shoe Jordan won his first title in.

Pearl is a warm off-white that works with cream, tan, grey and denim, and it reads more expensive than a flat white would.

At $260 this is one of the better value pairs in the store, since Craft materials typically cost more than this and Olympics tie-ins usually carry a premium.

One pair, size 8.5. Deadstock, verified in hand at our Dallas location. Jordan 6s fit true to size.
