Playboi Carti brought a fresh sneaker moment to his Ireland show, performing in the Air Jordan 6 "Infrared." He hit the stage at Croke Park in Dublin as part of The Weeknd's After Hours Til Dawn tour.
Black covers most of the upper on this pair, giving it a sleek, stealthy base to work from. Infrared hits the midsole, tongue, and heel detailing, adding a sharp burst of color against all that black. It's one of the model's most iconic color stories, also it traces back to Michael Jordan's playing days.
Carti's been a consistent presence in sneakers and streetwear throughout this year. This Dublin stop continues that pattern, putting a certified classic in front of a massive stadium crowd.
The show itself marked one stop in a packed European run. Carti's been opening for The Weeknd across multiple countries this summer, hitting major stadiums in England, Ireland, and Spain within the same stretch of dates.
Finally, teh Air Jordan 6 "White Infrared" is also returning this year, landing November 7th. It's the shoe's fourth release since 1991, this time with Nike Air branding back on the heel. That gives Carti's "Infrared" stage pair some extra timing with the model's 35th anniversary run.
Playboi Carti's Air Jordan 6 "Infrared"
Sneakers have become a regular part of Carti's stage presence over the past few years. He's worn a wide range of Jordan silhouettes throughout his live performances, often turning up in colorways collectors immediately recognize.
Moments like this are actually really important, especially in the sneaker resell market. When an artist like Carti performs in a specific pair in front of thousands of fans, it tends to spark renewed interest in that shoe almost overnight.
The Air Jordan 6 "Infrared" specifically has stayed a favorite among collectors for years now. Its bold color contrast has made it one of the more requested colorways whenever Jordan Brand brings it back.
With more European dates still ahead on this tour, Carti's sneaker rotation will likely keep drawing attention alongside the music itself.
