The Air Jordan 6 Infrared “Salesman” releases on the 14th of February 2026 at JD, marking 35 years of one of the most legendary models in Jordan Brand history.
Fronting the campaign is Kidwild, one of the UK’s fastest-rising rap talents. Raised in East London, the rap star has built a loyal following viral success on TikTok, the release of his breakout Distro Kid EP and hit single “Redemption”, featuring Nemzzz. Fast becoming a leader in youth culture and streetwear, Kidwild represents the new generation the Air Jordan 6 was built to inspire.
Originally dubbed the “Salesman Sample”, the pair references an Eastbay catalogue in 2000 that showed the sample version of the “Infrared” AJ6 with reverse midsole colourblocking. As Michael Jordan’s first championship sneaker, the Air Jordan 6 holds huge cultural significance among old-school sneakerheads and ‘90s basketball fans, calling back to the GOAT’s iconic run with the Chicago Bulls.
Putting a modern twist on the OG “Black Infrared,” the shoe features a premium black nubuck upper with bold Infrared accents. Nike Air branding on the heel and Jumpman logos on the lace lock, shroud, and sockliner complete the look. A rubberised tongue, padded collar, rear spoiler inspired by MJ’s German sports car, and visible Air cushioning in the heel and forefoot provide support, comfort, and traction, finished with icy rubber outsole sections.
One of the most sought-after releases of the season at JD, the Air Jordan 6 “Reverse Infrared Salesman” reinforces the retailer’s commitment to sneaker culture, giving first access to iconic drops.
