"The Air Jordan 6 "Oreo" is officially available now, marking the first-ever retro of the beloved 2010 colorway.

The Air Jordan 6 "Oreo" is officially available now, and you can grab a pair before sizes disappear. The classic black and white pair released today, August 8th, for $215. It's live now on Nike SNKRS along with Foot Locker and other major retailers, with full family sizing available.

This marks the first-ever retro of the original 2010 colorway. Fans have waited 16 years for it to resurface, making today's launch one of the more anticipated Air Jordan drops in recent memory. The timing also lines up with the Air Jordan 6's 35th anniversary, adding even more weight to an already stacked release calendar this year.

Black leather covers the toe box and side panels. Crisp white leather overlays sit on top, creating that classic two-tone split fans have nicknamed after the cookie. Speckled detailing carries across the midsole, heel spoiler, and lace lock for that same milk-soaked look from the original release.

One small update sets this pair apart from 2010. The outsole now runs a translucent blue tint instead of clear rubber. Overall that should help it resist yellowing over time while keeping the icy look intact for years to come.

The "Oreo" never had a Jumpman on the tongue or Nike Air branding on the heel back in 2010. It was considered a non-OG colorway from the jump. That never stopped it from becoming one of the most requested Air Jordan 6 pairs in the model's history.

Sneakerheads have spent years asking for a proper retro of this exact makeup. Fakes and resale markups filled that gap for a long time. Now collectors are finally getting an authentic release straight from Jordan Brand.

The simple color story is part of what makes it work. No loud branding, no gimmicks, just a clean black and white build with speckled texture doing the talking. It's the perfect example of letting the silhouette and quality do all of the talking.
