Originally released in 1991, the OG Air Jordan 6 "Carmine" was one of the last Jordan silhouettes to carry distinctive signs of the Nike brand. After 1991, Jordan brand began to distance itself from one Swoosh's signature logos and features in favor of a Nike Air Bubble to the heel and returning to its original form since its 1991 birth, the 2021 Retro design features the Nike Air logo to the heel where a Jumpman logo appeared after the last 2014 Retro of the shoe.
