When did Jordan Flight Club 91 come out?

What’s the blueprint for success? Jordan Brand thinks the Air Jordan VI has a lot of input on that, and they wouldn’t be so far off with that thought considering Jordan’s first NBA Championship came during the Air Jordan VI. Here’s a first look at the Jordan Blueprint that is now renamed the Jordan Flight Club ’91 that we first previewed back in June; it relies on the Air Jordan VI as the base, while using a completely redesigned upper that sorta update the Air Jordan VI upper, using a Huarache-like hole at the ankle. Thoughts on this upcoming Jordan Brand release, or the apparent formula of recycling a midsole and re-creating an upper for a “new” design? Peep the full shot below and chime in with your comments.

Jordan Brand honors the 1991 NBA Finals with the new Jordan Flight Club 91 “Lakers.” This game made history as the Chicago Bulls defeated the LA Lakers, resulting in Michael Jordan’s first championship ring.

Lakers fan or not, you could easily make room for this Jordan Flight Club 91 in your closet, as the upper comes ready with a crisp white base for easy styling. Details of “Court Purple” can be seen on the tongue and midsole, with a small hint also on the bottom eyelets. Of course the Lakers wouldn’t be complete without some “University Gold,” which fills the inner lining and Jumpman logos. 

The Jordan Flight Club 91 “Lakers” is set to release soon, so be sure to follow-up with our Jordan Release Dates page for updates. You’ll be able to purchase these sneakers from Nike.com and select retailers. The price is set at $130. For more sneaker releases and updates, follow @NiceKicks on Twitter.

If the Fight Club 91 isn’t head-turning enough for you, jump into the ultra-hip Jordan 6 Rings or the chunky-soled Jordan Mars 270.

If open window panels are a deal-breaker and you want a design that’s much closer to the Jordan 6, go for the Jordan 6-17-23.

Ready to minimize stress

Ballers and sneaker users say the combination of Air units and PU midsole help reduce pressure underfoot. Those who strapped this up the entire day have nothing but praises for it. 

Living up to MJ’s greatness

It’s outfitted with premium leather, offering a luxurious feel. 

A gentle Goliath

Despite looking bulky, the Jordan Flight Club 91 isn’t bottom-heavy. Thanks to its Phylon cushioning midsole. It feels considerably light. 

Say goodbye to sweaty feet

Jumpman reviewers are impressed by its well-thought-out design. The cutout sections on the sides and added perforations encourage good airflow.  

It keeps the feet buckled up comfortably

It has a traditional lace-up system that lets you either tighten or loosen the fit up until the ankle cuff. Its inner sleeve keeps your feet locked in.

Lets you play up your OOTDs as much as you like 

Basketball enthusiasts are picking up this kick as it goes well with a slew of outfits. They say it’s among the Jordan highs that pair well with jeans to tracks, jerseys to hoodies, athletic shorts to cargos.

Its rubber sole offers good grip

Some variations come with a blend of icy and solid-colored rubber sections, while the rest are two-toned. Whichever style it is, the rubber outsole delivers an excellent grip on multiple surfaces.

Snug-fit internal sleeve

Its internal bootie may feel a bit tight for broad-footed users, but generally, it wraps the feet well without locking the heat in. 

The design inspiration behind the Jordan Flight Club 91

Air Jordan, the line of shoes by Nike and now more commonly known as the Jordan brand, has an exciting and vibrant history. The year to remember for this particular brand is 1984. Remember, before this year, Nike had almost no representation in the world of basketball, but in 1984, it took a considerable risk when it signed on Michael Jordan, who was a rookie back then for the Chicago Bulls.

The first Air Jordan, the Air Jordan I, was introduced during the 1985-1986 NBA season, and the brand was ready for a path to success. Legends were made, both in the form of a basketball player and a basketball sneaker line.

In 1991, basketball player Michael Jordan laced up his Air Jordan 6 with conviction and led the Chicago Bulls to win against the Detroit Pistons to defeat the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals. He garnered his very first NBA title that season and the Finals MVP award while wearing the Air Jordan 6. It makes sense that this particular sneaker holds a special place in the heart of basketball fans and sneakerheads alike with its rich legacy and history. It has turned into a shoe that any bonafide sneakerhead must-have.

Lately, retro-styled sneakers have become hot fashion trends, and the Jordan brand understands this, seeing a need for more retro sneakers to hit the market. With that, it released the Jordan Flight Club 91, a sneak that takes direct inspiration from the Air Jordan 6. It brings the best of the 90s while updating the shoe with better sneaker technology to churn out a perfect shoe for lifestyle wear.
