Question: Air Jordan VI model

[mmonte4]

Does anyone have a pair of verified game worn Air Jordan VIs? I'm trying to figure out the difference in tagging between the retail and game worn shoe for this particular model. If anyone has evidence, please come forward.

For sure there won't be the retail style number and color code. With the early Jordan's its easy to tell if they were gamer/issued as Jordan was the only one wearing player sample tagged shoes. Post a pic of the pair you're inquiring about.

Can you please post a pic or link to what you are referring to when you say "player tagged" on the early Jordan models?

Well. There are so many variations of player tags. You could be looking for a code ending in 'PS', hand written tag, typed (as in typewriter) tag, etc.

If you'd like to email a pic instead of posting it I could tell you within seconds the info you're looking for. Aside from one person making Frankenstein Jordan PEs a couple years back there really is no grey area with the older models. It's either retail, production sample or PE.

One more....seller of this 90-91 game worn uniform complete with shoes and GF Authentication. I emailed him and the coding on his shoes:

The Maroon VI (eBay listing) is easy. Jordan never wore those in an NBA game. Only off court in product ads and such. The COA is incorrect in reference to game use.

I'll check the other two shortly.

Until I see a photo of MJ wearing this style in a game, I'll take your word for it. However, I would assume that even the shoes MJ wore in commercials and ads came from his private stock and were tagged as such.

Those aren't 4's there 5's which is weird they would mess that up. The other link is of the 4's.
