Sneakerheads have been subjected to a whole lot of bad news lately in regards to release dates. It feels like every single Air Jordan has been pushed back by a few weeks and in some cases, even months, due to COVID-19. There has been very little good news to latch on to, especially with the repeated delays for the Air Jordan 6 “DMP.” Well, it looks like some good news might finally be on the horizon as the J23App recently posted the official images for the black and gold shoe.

As you can see, this sneaker carries on the look of the model from 2006. The upper features black nubuck while gold accents are placed on the midsole and back heel. We even get an icy blue outsole that helps add some contrast and a bit of pop. Collectors will also be happy to see the gold hang tag which is placed on the laces, out of the box.

The release date has been set for April 18th with a price of $200 USD attached. There is still a chance these could be delayed but at this point, we are just holding out a little bit of hope.

For many Michael Jordan fans, the Air Jordan 6 is the most important silhouette in the line’s history. This is because the Jordan 6 is the first sneaker Jordan was ever able to win a championship in. The shoe came out in 1991 and has received numerous dope colorways over the years. Perhaps one of the best colorways was the Air Jordan 6 “DMP” which released all the way back in 2006. “DMP” stands for Defining Moments Pack which was a set that came with the aforementioned black and gold Jordan 6, as well as an Air Jordan 11.

Now, the Air Jordan 6 “DMP” is back on its own, after years of begging from eager sneakerheads. As you can see from the Instagram post below, the shoe has a black nubuck upper with gold accents all the way throughout. There is also an icy blue outsole to create a nice contrast on the bottom. Overall, it’s a beautiful shoe although unfortunately, the release date is being delayed. The shoe was supposed to drop in March but got pushed back to April 4th. According to @zsneakerheadz, the placeholder release date is now being set for April 11th.
