A Street Kick with MJ Style Released in 1991, the Air Jordan 6 basketball sneaker was the product of Michael's significant and detailed input to famed designer Tinker Hatfield. Today, you might say the mid-cut Jordan Lift Off is a direct genetic descendent of the AJ 6, maintaining its design inspiration in the modern streetwear category. Its classic - and classy - style make the Lift Off the everyday kick for savvy sneakerheads. Substance Behind the Look Because your all-day sneaker needs to feel good and stand up to wear, the Lift Off is comfort-engineered and built from top-quality materials. The clean-looking upper has a smooth feel, while supplying a secure, supportive fit. Underfoot comfort is provided by a cushiony foam midsole and Air Sole heel unit. Combined leather, synthetic, and ballistic nylon mesh upper looks great. Perforations provide cooling ventilation. Padded collar supports and protects ankle. Lightweight foam midsole adds cushioning. Visible Air-Sole heel unit absorbs impacts. Rubber outsole's herringbone pattern provides grip.
