A good pair of sneakers deserves a shirt that was chosen, not grabbed. Each week, The Sneaker Report lists the releases worth knowing, with the day, the price and where to buy them, and pairs every one with a Culture Limited piece that speaks the same color language. This week the Jordan 6 “Infrared” returns, and we happen to have made a shirt for it.
Nike and Jordan launches go live on SNKRS at 10:00 AM ET; retailers may run draws or app entries, so check each link before the day.

Air Jordan 6 “White Infrared”
Sat, Nov 7 · 10:00 AM ET · $215 · CT8529-105 · White and Light Crimson with black
Tinker Hatfield's 1991 design, the shoe Michael Jordan wore to his first title, back in its original shape with Nike Air on the heel. The headline release of the week.

Fri, Nov 6 · 10:00 AM ET · $199.99 · U990GR7 · Kool Gray with Calcium and Light Arctic Grey
Mesh and pigskin suede over a FuelCell and ENCAP midsole: the grey American runner, still the most grown-up sneaker in the room. A members-only launch on New Balance; it showed sold out by midday, so set a restock alert.

Women's Air Jordan 11 “Magic Ball”
Wed, Nov 11 · 10:00 AM ET · $235 · IZ1800-200 · Off Noir with Metallic Silver

Wed, Nov 11 · 10:00 AM ET · $200 · IO6259-800 · Laser Orange and Safety Orange

Where to buy: Nike SNKRS · Foot Locker (in store only, one per person)
Wear it with: the Fly Era 1988 Orange Harlem NYC Crown crewneck in Vintage Black, so the orange appears once on top and once underfoot.

Black on black, done with intent: the Culture Limited Paris high neck tee.
