The adult-sized Air Jordan 6 “Quai 54” features smooth “Sail” leather uppers accented with windows of a perforated purple geometric print inspired by the traditional Bogolan graphics from West Africa; the Jumpman logo is displayed across the tongue on the left shoe with a countering tournament logo on the right. Complete with a toggle lacing system and cutouts across the tongue and the heel, the sneakers pay tribute to the French City of Lights with a touch of flair.
As for kid’s sizing, the sneaker follows similar design features as its adult counterpart with panels of brown and yellow print replacing the purple shades. Its tongue as well incorporated the chocolate brown leather with its paneled design, seen also in the marking of both logos. A contrast translucent outsole ties the design together along with white laces for a cohesive look.
Quai 54 is Jordan Brand’s annual streetball tournament that takes place during the summer in Paris. Founded in 2003 by Hammadoun Sidibé and Thibaut de Longeville, the event combines the appeal of a city ball tournament with the ever-present French street style culture; this year, though, the event was canceled due to the impact of the pandemic.
