Last weeks, Clash of the Kicks was definitely a tough one to call as the Air Jordan 5 (V) Retro – Fire Red barely defeated the Air Jordan 4 (IV) Retro – Mars Blackmon! Many readers were forced to make a tough decision as both color-ways are marked as classics within the Air Jordan line-up.
This week’s Clash of the Kicks is is yet another encounter which will require a resolute choice from our readers. Which one are you going to root for? (Don’t forget to comment and let us know your thoughts!)
- Air Jordan 1 (I) Retro 2003 – White / Black – Red (Detailed Pictures)
- Air Jordan 6 (VI) Retro – Olympic (Midnight Navy / Varsity Red – White) (Detailed Pictures)
The Air Jordan 1 (I) Retro 2003 – White / Black – Red were released on November 22, 2003. They are 1 of 3 Air Jordan 1’s (I) that were released in patent leather versions. The upper consists mostly of red patent leather, with white inserts and black accents, including the Nike swoosh and laces, which are a nice touch. They are really flashy, and are definite head turners. They are extremely difficult to find in dead stock condition.
The Air Jordan 6 (VI) Retro – Olympic (Midnight Navy / Varsity Red – White) were release on September 15, 2000 and retailed for $ 120. They are dubbed the “Olympics” as they feature the American Flag colorway…red / white / blue, and were originally worn by Jordan in the Olympic games. The Air Jordan 6 (VI) features similar elements from the Air Jordan 5 (V), including the lace locks and clear sole. Besides that, they are a completely different shoe. The pattern on the shoe is interesting. If you look at the shoe the right way, the number 23 appears with the number 2 standing upright on the back of the shoe and the number 3 laying down, facing the ground near the laces.
