This classic sneaker was last "retro-fied" in June 2010 as a part of the ‘Infrared Pack’ and will be re-released again in 2014. This upcoming release was incredibly popular three years ago, and the people over at Jordan Brand know this will be another hit. Featuring an all-white leather upper and perforated holes for breathability, this sneaker is not only flashy, but functional for intense court use. The midsole features a red trim to add some needed flair to the otherwise white exterior. Red hits on the tongue and back tab really set this sneaker off. A tinted blue outsole adds some finishing touches to this classic sneaker. The Jordan White Infrared 6 is sure to be an immediate sell-out when it hits stores early 2014. Keep your eyes peeled for this upcoming release. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Retro Basketball Sneaker Makeovers:** Opportunity to revitalize classic sneaker designs by adding modern features and functionality. - **In-demand Re-releases:** Opportunity for brands to capitalize on the popularity of past sneaker releases by bringing them back to market. - **Functional Design with Flair:** Demand for sneakers that are both stylish and suitable for intense court use presents an opportunity for innovative design solutions. ### Who This Affects Most - **Footwear:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the footwear industry by combining retro aesthetics with modern technology and materials. - **Fashion:** Opportunity for the fashion industry to explore the intersection of sports and style by reimagining iconic basketball sneaker designs. - **Sports:** Innovative design opportunities in the sports industry to create sneakers that meet the demands of intense court use while maintaining a fashionable appeal. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Speckled Minimal Basketball Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reverse-oreo.md) - [Red-Accented Basketball Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-red-colorway.md) - [Global Games-Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-jordan-6-retro.md) - [Monochromatic Relaunched Basketball Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reverse-metallic.md) - [Stealthy Colorblocked Basketball Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flu-game-colorway.md) - [Monochromatic Speckled Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/white-cement-colorway.md) - [Stark Red-Tonal Basketball Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fire-red-colorway.md) - [Crimson Tonal Retro Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-dune-red.md) - [Luxe Creamy Retro Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phantom-colorway-1.md)
