Metamorphosis is a cool name for a sneaker, and it is fitting for the Air Jordan 6 Low Black and Desert Berry. The name of the sneaker is even longer than it already was, but this colorway and the rarity of low-top AJ6s is a draw. Let’s talk sneakers.

The name is not decoration. Nike says Metamorphosis points to how the Air Jordan 6 has changed since Tinker Hatfield drew it in 1991, and the release is tied to the silhouette’s 35th anniversary. The low-top version is itself part of that change, since it did not arrive until 2002, eleven years after the original.

Is this a size-up situation for guys? Maybe not, but it is one of those colorways that will draw a reaction out of me if and when I see a lady sneakerhead wearing them. My wife is a fan because all shades of purple are her thing. Maybe this should be the next pair I cop for her.
