Jordan Brand is digging deep into the archives this year, bringing back the iconic Air Jordan 6 Infrared under a new name: “Salesman.” More than a retro, this release taps into sneaker lore, storytelling and the rarely seen moments that shape footwear history.

The “Salesman” edition draws inspiration from a legendary unreleased 1999 sample — the kind of pair that only ever lived in back rooms and retailer previews. From the jump, the details tell the story. Special packaging and a custom hangtag mirror how rare samples were once distributed, offering a nod to the behind-the-scenes world that fuels sneaker culture.
