Air Jordan 6 First Flight Innovations
When it first came out, Air Jordan 6 introduced several new features. The first change was a reinforcement around the toe. Also added were the two holes in the tongue. The third feature which Hatfield added was a molded heel tab on the back of the sneaker. It was said that Michael Jordan himself required this addition so that it won’t hit his Achilles tendon. He had complained of difficulty putting on the previous Jordans.
The soles of Air Jordan 6 were also made of translucent rubber soles. This was similar to its predecessor Air Jordan 5. The original Air Jordan 6 was the last sneaker of the Air Jordan series to have the logo of Nike Air featured on it. Nike designer Ross Patrick made some redrawing and updates to the Jumpman. Patrick also made changes to the typography featured on the tongue.
