2019 All Star Black Infrared Air Jordan 6

[ARK]

Why do the 5s not get any love? I remember being 12 and thinking the fire reds were the most amazing things i ever owned.

I’m here for you man. The Fire Red 5 3M tongue the best. The lines of that shoe are so perfect. The black midsole, the first use of a clear outsole, the first lace lock, the first use of 3M, the fire red teeth. Lord I can’t wait for a Nike Air version again.

[noblekane]

Wilt and Russell were both studs. I would have to believe if they were into todays game with the training, and the emphesis on building the body. They would have been greats today as well. MJ in ANY era would have dominated everyone.

I disagree.

They were playing against the same 9-10 teams, against the same shorter, smaller players.

Wilt wasn’t nearly as dominate once rules caught up with how he just stood under the basket and got easy buckets.

The lane went from 12 feet to 16...points dropped 8 points.

His point avg dropped another 10 points once the league added the 3 second rule.

That 50ppg season is the most overrated stat line in history. He’d average 20 today, and I’m giving him benefit of the doubt.

 

[J-Kilroy45]

and nobody saw Wilt, Oscar or Bill Russell play.

There are people that did but yes exactly, now you’re getting it

 

[g-time]

How many teams were there though?

Them Wilt numbers and Russell chips don’t hold much weight in my opinion.

Not trying to derail the thread but Bill’s 11 rings out of his 13 seasons played doesn’t hold much weight? Regardless of how you feel about how many teams there were or what not, that’s an impressive feat and shows the kind of dominance he had.

 

[headdetective]

Nah, I disagree and I pointed as to why.

Dude never won finals MVP

Team was stacked, playing against the same 8-9 teams. I’m sleep.

 

[Quiggles706]

Can someone explain this "playoff" nickname, makes no sense to me.

Non of the nicknames for that shoe makes sense

 

[abdc9]

These aren’t grails for me, but they’re an instacop and I understand the importance and lore of this shoe.

My top Jays are:
Raptor 7s
Bred 12s
WC/BC 4s

Those are also my favorite Jordan models too. 7, 12, 4. If they could correct the shape of the 4 they would move up, but the banana shape isn’t cool.

Did they give finals MVPs to black dudes back then?

 

[Quiggles706]

I’m ready for the Nike pictures already.

 

[J-Kilroy45]

First pics of the Retail pair so far

I assume Nike and SNKRS Official Images drop this week if there’s a shock drop and/or the All Star Collection is revealed

These are infinitely a better looking shoe than all of the Jordan’s that came previously ... fire *** colorways too.

Dude avg 20 and 25 in the playoffs and finals a few years smh

This kind of thinking is flawed. So we’re going to hold against him the time and era of the NBA he was apart of?? So the NBA didn’t start counting or mattering until when? 80s and 90s?? Makes no damn sense.

 

[headdetective]

Makes a lot of sense.

Imagine what Shaq would do without 3 seconds, and could just camp in a 12 foot paint.

Willis Reed won it in 69 I believe.

The Finals MVP was first given out in 1969, which was Russell’s last season. They made sure to give it to Jerry West though

Wilt was the reason those rules came in

Yea makes tons of sense. Screw NBA history to fit your narrative right?

The black red 9 should have been the playoff J. Pics of MJ during the 93 finals were surfaced before heading to Phoenix. Wearing the white black 9, it somehow got called the playoff 9. Nowadays its the space Jam 9 due to it appearance in the movie.

Gotta say, I've been in this hobby for a very long time and I've never once heard either of these "nicknames" in reference to the white/black IX.

 

[tonytobacco]

wait, did West win it in '69 or Willis?

 

[headdetective]

Willis won it in 69-70, my mistake.

You’re not saying anything and sound emotional.

I’ve pointed out why I feel this way.

Rules, number of teams, competition.

I’m not calling cats great just cause they won chips against inferior competition....ie KD, ie these current warriors.

Not emotional in anyway lol. Your entitled to your opinion. But in my opinion, and probably a lot of others, your thinking is flawed.

 

[tonytobacco]

I dont know whats going on in here but Jordan would dominate the game more than either Wilt or Russell. Wilt never dealt with anything like Jordan's mid-air acrobatics. His @&& would get dunked on. Then Jordan would big face him until Wilt felt powerless and meek.

Agreed. Kid doesn’t know what he’s talking about ...

If anything they’d have been called the statues. Being on the Jordan statue outside the UC.

Or the Kilroy’s given the marketing campaign for the IX when he wasn’t playing on court in them.
