The American men’s basketball team is preparing for another quest for the gold medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. But the US is keen to regain its well-earned status as the “Dream Team” following their disastrous showing at the FIBA World Cup last summer. A vintage pair of Michael Jordan sneakers will make a comeback in time for the occasion, fresh after the American team’s success in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

The NBA season is full of unique occasions to celebrate, and on some of the biggest nationally televised holidays, players have the opportunity to show off their skills and footwear. The NBA Christmas Day game, the All-Star game, and international Regular Season exhibitions are just a few of the events where players come up with new concepts for special-edition sneakers and themes every year.

But just a small number of NBA players get to represent their country at the Olympics once every four years. In the previous few years, a once-huge basketball achievement saw a slight decline as the finest players in the NBA chose to stay out of it. The Air Jordan 6 in a navy blue/white colorway was launched in commemoration of Michael Jordan, who seized every chance to compete in the Olympics.

Michael Jordan’s passion for sports vehicles served as the inspiration for the design of the Air Jordan 6, which has an industrial-style framework. The leather uppers of the “Olympic” edition are color-blocked in white and navy blue, with hints of red on the tongue logo and lacelock. This pristine version of a beloved Air Jordan model is completed with an icy blue outsole.

Sneakerheads have been hoping to get their hands on new pairs of these since they were last re-released in 2012 for the London Summer Olympics. They are anticipated to release on July 20, 2024, a week before the Olympic Games in Paris, France, begin. They will cost $200 and ought to be offered in sizes suitable for the entire family. Limited quantities are available on the Nike SNKRS app, KicksCrew.com, and some Jordan shops.

Considering their recent release, these will be highly anticipated and ought to sell out rapidly. As we attempt to obtain a pair of these, we eagerly anticipate the United States’ attempt at gold.
