Air Jordan 6 “Aqua” Sample Resurfaces Online: Photos

One of the most beloved Jordan models of all-time is the Air Jordan 6 and for good reason. It was the first shoe Jordan won a championship in, all the way back in 1991. Throughout the years, it has been given a plethora of colorways although unfortunately, not every single one has made it to the market. Back in 2020, Jumpman created an “Aqua” colorway that was based on the Air Jordan 8 with the exact same name. This offering never got to see the light of day, although a few sample pairs have remained out there.

Recently, one of those samples was sold, which led to some detailed images from the likes of Instagram user @depeche23mode. In the post below, you can see that the sneaker has a mostly black suede upper while the midsole is turquoise and purple. The outsole, which is typically icy blue, has yellowed quite a bit, which only makes sense when you consider how the shoe is 10 years old.

Since this is a sample, you shouldn’t be expecting these to drop anytime soon, although sometimes it’s just fun to look back at the history of Jordan Brand and think about what could have been.

Let us know what you think of these, in the comments below.

Kyle Ashen’s sun-drenched recollection with new release “That Local Girl”

Kyle Ashen’s latest release, “That Local Girl,” is a gorgeous trip down memory lane, a country single that explores that golden glow of memory, like flipping through old photographs touched by salt air and summer sunlight. It’s warm, cinematic, and deeply relatable, a song about the kind of love story that never quite goes away, even as time moves on.

“That Local Girl” is filled with imagery that quickly takes the listener into a world they can walk right into. You got a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl on a boardwalk street by the ocean, a souped-up truck driving through town, neon lights reflecting off the ocean breeze, and the electric innocence of young love burning in the background.

But under all that cutesy trapping is something more than that, longing. Some people, some places that leave permanent marks on Kyle Ashen and us know that. What’s so brilliant about this song is that it marries those two ideas, making love and hometown memory feel beautifully inseparable. Sometimes you miss a person. And with that person, you miss an entire version of life. “That Local Girl” is more than a country love song from Kyle Ashen. He is a living postcard from the past, sun-faded, bittersweet, and glowing with feeling. A reminder that summers pass by, but some memories stay with us forever.
