Rounding out the style are hits of branding found on the toe, lateral, sole and tongue.

Since the inception of the Air Jordan 6 in 1991, the iconic model has evolved into an array of reimagined iterations complete with updated design details and modernized colorways. This season, the AJ6 marks its return with the release of the all-new Women’s Air Jordan 6 Retro “Singles Day” that celebrates the Chinese commercial holiday.
Paying homage to the kicks’ storied past, the latest women’s edition features a monochromatic black-on-black finish along with a tonal floral and basketball print which appears throughout the textile upper and midsole. To further enhance the shoe’s retro styling, a burgundy woven lace shield has been added for a burst of color, while a metallic gold Jumpman ornament lends a touch of luxury to the silhouette’s distinctive design. Standard Air Jordan 6 details remain intact, which includes a spoiler-like heel tab and visible Air sole cushioning.
As a way to celebrate Singles Day and the arrival of the Women’s Air Jordan 6 Retro “Singles Day,” we’ve partnered with GOAT to bring you a round-up of the season’s most-coveted Air Jordans for women.
Air Jordan 6 Retro “Singles Day”
Designed to celebrate the strength of community in women’s basketball and boundary breaking females around the world, the newest AJ6 blends the shoe’s classic design elements with tonal graphics and a souped-up black-on-black colorway. When blended together, all of these elements signify the connectivity that women bring to the world.
Off-White x Air Jordan 4 SP “Sail”
Putting a fresh spin on a classic silhouette, the Off-White x Air Jordan 4 SP “Sail” features a monochromatic finish and comes complete with semi-translucent TPU detailing on the molded eyelets along with structural “wings” as well as a Nike Air-branded heel panel.
Aleali May x Air Jordan 6 Retro “Millennial Pink”
For those who can’t resist a dose of color, the Aleali May x Air Jordan 6 Retro in “Millennial Pink” is ideal for making a statement when hitting the streets. This iteration marks the third collaboration with the international fashion stylist and tells the story behind the influencer’s career journey through the silhouette’s exclusive colorway and bright crimson branding.
Air Jordan 1 Mid SE “Let(Her)Man”
Drawing inspiration from collegiate homecomings, the new Air Jordan 1 Mid SE “Let(Her)Man” is a women’s exclusive. Featuring a play on the word “letterman,” the classic design and traditional colorway subtly nods to the letterman jackets typically worn by athletes, alumni and members of on-campus Greek life.
Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Tie-Dye”
If you’re looking for a fashion-forward silhouette this season, opt for the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG in “Tie-Dye.” The trend-driven silhouette is highlighted by a faux hand-dyed effect on the sneaker’s heel and forefoot overlays. While swirling blue and teal hues are offset by a white leather quarter panel and contrasting black leather on the collar and toe box.
Air Jordan 1 Low “UNC”
Paying homage to Michael Jordan’s alma-mater, the Air Jordan 1 Low “UNC” comes fashioned in a simple yet classic two-tone color scheme. Applying “University Blue” overlays on a crisp white base to the all-leather upper, the sports-derived kicks feature a padded collar for a comfortable fit and perforated detailing on the toe box.
Air Jordan 4 Retro NRG “Singles Day”
To celebrate the holiday season in style, you can’t go wrong with the Air Jordan 4 Retro NRG “Singles Day” which has been outfitted in a “Fire Red” colorway and features a gum rubber outsole. Additionally, contrasting pops of black on the tongue tag, eyelets and Jumpman logo on the heel add to the kick’s brightly-tinged design aesthetic.
Air Jordan 13 Retro “Singles Day”
Originally released in 2016 as an Asia exclusive, the Air Jordan 13 Retro “Singles Day” silhouette draws inspiration from the November 11 Chinese Holiday which celebrates singledom. A part of the “What Is Love?” pack, the sneaker’s midsole has been dressed up in red suede and features a wear-away panda camo graphic on the upper.
