16 Years Later, the Air Jordan 6 "Oreo" Finally Returns in Its Original Colorway

The knockoff came first, and now the real deal is finally here. Jordan Brand dropped the "Red Oreo" back in 2022, swapping the classic black-and-white for a red-and-black scheme to tide fans over for a while. But that was never the real flavor. Sixteen years later, the original black-and-white Air Jordan 6 that gave "Oreo" its name is finally coming back to shelves.

The shoe officially drops on August 8 via Nike's SNKRS app, releasing across the full family size run so both adults and kids can rock the same pair. Adult sizes are priced at $215. Compared to the scattered variants released over the past few years, this time the original colorway is coming back exactly as it was.

The Air Jordan 6 has already had plenty going on this year — the classic "Infrared" 6 retro, a new Sashiko-stitched version, and even the legendary "Bin 23" finally surfacing. Among this lineup, the "Oreo" fills in the last piece — not a new design, but a return of the instantly recognizable black-and-white classic from 16 years ago, finally back in consumers' hands.
