News of the Air Jordan VI (6) Retro Lakers was music to ears of Kobe fans (remember when Kobe wore Air Jordan PEs?). Our coverage of this upcoming pair included tons of detailed images, but these latest shots of the Air Jordan VI reveal two glaring differences. Firstly, the bottom sole is white, opposed to the black shown in previous production samples. Secondly, the lace-lock has undergone a similar transfer of color, going from black/purple to white/purple. So which will be the final production release? We’re leaning toward this one, considering the resource is very legitimate. You might have to pick and choose which Retro 6 to cop, because the Oreo VI and Pistons VI are upcoming as well. The official release date of the Air Jordan VI (6) Lakers is May 15th, so keep your calendars marked. In the meantime, let us know which colourway you like better; white-soled or black-soled? via FLUL.

Secondly, the 3M material on the upper has been removed in favor of an all-suede upper. So which will be the final production release?
