Air Jordan 6 "Oreo" Is Officially Coming Back After 16 Years
ALEX NGUYEN•August 08, 2026
After years of requests from the sneaker community, Jumpman is finally bringing back the Air Jordan 6 "Oreo" colorway that first dropped in 2010. It's one of the most sought-after non-OG colorways in the AJ6 line, and this return marks the first time in 16 years the shoe has made it back to retail shelves.
Design-wise, the 2026 retro stays true to the spirit of the original: the upper pairs black suede with white tumbled leather for that sharp, high-contrast look the "Oreo" name is known for. The familiar speckled detailing shows up on the midsole, heel, and lace lock, while a translucent outsole adds a light, refined touch to the overall build. Compared to the "Reverse Oreo" that dropped in 2024, where the speckling was confined to just the midsole and heel and the bold black upper contrast was largely lost, this retro is a much more faithful nod to the original.

Worth noting is that this release lands right alongside the Air Jordan 6's 35th anniversary, a silhouette Tinker Hatfield designed back in 1991. That milestone is exactly why Jordan Brand has set aside this year to roll out a string of highly anticipated retros alongside a few colorways that have never seen the light of day, and the "Oreo" stands out as one of the biggest names in that lineup.
The Air Jordan 6 "Oreo" is set to release on August 8, 2026, with an adult retail price of $215.
