After years of speculation, one of the most coveted Air Jordan VI colorways is reportedly making its long-awaited return.
The “Sport Blue” Air Jordan VI OG is expected to return in Fall 2027, bringing back the classic White/Sport Blue-Black color scheme that has remained a favorite among Air Jordan collectors.
The news was reported by zSneakerHeadz and SneakerFiles, marking another major Air Jordan VI release planned for 2027.
An OG Favorite Returns
Originally released in 1991, the “Sport Blue” Air Jordan VI became part of the iconic lineup of Michael Jordan’s championship-era footwear.
The predominantly white upper is accented by Sport Blue detailing throughout the midsole, tongue and heel, while black provides additional contrast.
The colorway’s clean white-and-blue presentation has helped make it one of the more recognizable Air Jordan VI designs from the model’s original run.
The “Sport Blue” colorway most recently returned to retailers in 2014, making the anticipated 2027 release the first opportunity in more than a decade for sneakerheads to pick up the classic colorway again.
Nike Air Branding Makes This Return Special
One of the biggest details surrounding the 2027 release is the expected return of Nike Air branding on the heel.
That detail would give the upcoming pair a more authentic OG-inspired appearance and makes the 2027 release particularly appealing to collectors who prefer retro Air Jordans that closely replicate the original construction and branding.
Nike and Jordan Brand have increasingly revisited OG-era details on select retros, and the “Sport Blue” Air Jordan VI would fit perfectly into that trend.

Another Big Air Jordan VI Return
The return of the “Sport Blue” Air Jordan VI adds another highly anticipated release to an already stacked 2027 Jordan Brand calendar.
For longtime Jordan fans, the combination of the classic 1991 colorway and OG-style Nike Air branding could make this one of the most desirable Air Jordan VI releases of the year.
And after more than a decade since the last retro, sneakerheads will finally have another chance to add the “Sport Blue” VI to their rotation.
The Question for Sneakerheads
