Another pair of Jordan 6 rings

There is a new edition of the best Jordan Hybrid ever available. The “carbon fiber” Jordan 6 Rings have dropped. And, as the name implies, carbon fiber figures prominently in the upper of this new shoe. So what is carbon fiber? Carbon fiber is made up of carbon atoms that are bonded into crystals that are roughly aligned parallel to the long axis of the fiber. The alignment of the crystal gives the fiber a high strength to volume ratio. In English, carbon fiber is considered the strongest and most durable material that can be placed on top of a shoe. And it has become one of the most beloved attributes that a large number of sneakerheads have ever used on a shoe.

There are also a lot of sneakerheads who consider the Jordan Hybrids and specifically the Jordan 6 Rings to be unworthy of the Air Jordan name. These Jordan shoe fans don’t consider these shoes to be “authentic.” Any Jordan shoe that consists of different elements of the shoe that Michael wore to win his 6 NBA championship rings is certainly worthy of the Air Jordan name. This shoe is definitely the “real thing”. Different characteristics of the Jordan 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13 and 14 are used to create not only a sick looking shoe, but also a high performance one. The most prominent feature of the 6 Rings is the midsole and outsole that were borrowed from the Jordan 13. There is no smoother, more stable footprint in a Jordan shoe due to the use of the 13 o’clock midsole and outsole.

Jordan Brand’s first 6 Ring release of the year uses this beloved carbon fiber in an upper that is complemented by a white midsole and black toe cap. The carbon fiber attribute is strongly visible just above the white midsole and black toe box. The midfoot features a black mesh-like material. Medium gray is used on the outsole and rear heel panel. The sole of the shoe is gray. Also, the fuzzy Jumpman logo is standard on this shoe and was borrowed from the Jordan 8. On the 6 carbon fiber rings, this logo is done in black and gray.

The Jordan 6 Rings have been seen in a wide variety of materials in recent releases of the shoe. Full-grain leather with laser-printed graphics, 3M glow-in-the-dark leather and Nike Foamposite are some of the unique materials that have graced the shoe more recently. Carbon fiber has now joined that elite list.

Whether you love or hate the Jordan 6 Rings, it’s here to stay. There will be more releases of this hybrid shoe. It has become one of the most popular pairs of Jordan shoes for basketball. Well, popular can be a relative term. But there are enough sneakerheads who love this shoe to put it in the “popular” category.
