Air Jordan 6 Retro 'Gatorade Green' — The Championship Partnership, in Iconic Green
The Air Jordan 6 Retro 'Gatorade Green' celebrates one of sports history's most iconic brand relationships — Michael Jordan and Gatorade. The partnership that gave us "Be Like Mike" is immortalized in this AJ6 collaboration, dressed in Gatorade's signature electric green colorway that is instantly recognizable to sports fans across generations.
Design & Colorway
The 'Gatorade Green' wraps the Air Jordan 6 in a bold electric green/black/white palette drawn directly from Gatorade's brand identity. The electric green upper radiates with the same neon energy as the original Lemon-Lime Gatorade that became the sport's most iconic hydration drink, while black and white accent details provide the grounding contrast that keeps the colorway controlled and purposeful. Gatorade co-branding details appear throughout the shoe, making the collaboration's identity unmistakable while respecting the AJ6 silhouette's foundational design elements — the pull tab, the lace lock, the clean lines that define one of Tinker Hatfield's greatest designs.

Be Like Mike
The Gatorade and Michael Jordan partnership is one of the most celebrated in sports marketing history — the "Be Like Mike" campaign launched in 1991, the same year MJ won his first championship in the Air Jordan 6, and became a cultural phenomenon that transcended sports. The 'Gatorade Green' AJ6 brings those two legendary brands together on the very silhouette MJ wore during that historic season, creating a shoe that is both a collector's piece and a cultural time capsule.
