How to Wear the Jordan 6 'Electric Green': Outfit Ideas, Fit, and Sizing Tips

Quick answer: Style the Jordan 6 "Electric Green" with dark, simple clothes, like black or grey pants and a plain hoodie or jacket, so the bright green details stand out. Pick tapered or cuffed pants so the heel tab shows. Jordan 6s fit true to size for most people. If you have wide feet, go up a half size.

The Electric Green Air Jordan 6 has an all-black suede upper with bright green hits on the midsole, heel tab, tongue logo, and lace lock. The outsole glows in the dark. Designer Tinker Hatfield took ideas from sports cars for the 1991 Jordan 6, which is why it has a sleek shape and a heel tab shaped like a car spoiler. With this pair, the shoe does the talking. Your outfit just needs to stay out of the way.

The Electric Green Jordan 6 is mostly black, so it works best with a dark outfit. Black, charcoal, and grey let the green details pop without fighting them.

Pick sturdy fabrics that match the shoe's sporty shape, like nylon track pants, cargo pants, heavy cotton hoodies, and windbreakers. Skip loose, flowy pants that cover the shoe. Tapered or cuffed hems keep the heel tab and lace lock in view.

• Quick tip: Keep the bright green on your feet. One small green accent, like a cap or a logo, is plenty. Too much neon makes the outfit look busy.

• Question: Do Jordan 6s run true to size?

• Answer: Yes, for most people. The Jordan 6 has a snug inner sleeve and a toe box that narrows a bit at the front. If you have wide feet or you're between sizes, go up a half size. Use the lace lock to fine-tune the fit around your ankle.

• Question: Are Jordan 6s comfortable for everyday wear?

• Answer: Yes. The Jordan 6 has visible Air cushioning in the heel and a firm, steady sole. It feels sturdy rather than soft, and it gets more comfortable after a few wears. The suede upper softens up, too. Just keep suede pairs away from heavy rain.

Here are five easy looks from our JD stylists, from everyday to night out:

• The all-black base: Black tapered track pants with a dark grey windbreaker. The taper at the ankle keeps the heel tab visible, and the dark jacket lets the green sole pop.
• The utility look: Charcoal or graphite cargo pants with a black hoodie. Hoodies with small reflective details pair well with the glow-in-the-dark sole.
• Easy denim: Black jeans cuffed above the ankle with a grey crewneck. The cuff keeps the green lace lock in view.
• Summer fit: Black shorts, a plain white or black tee, and black crew socks. Simple, clean, and easy.
• Olive and black: An olive jacket or overshirt with black pants. Olive is a softer green that ties in with the shoe without matching it exactly.

• Normal or narrow feet: Buy your true size.
• Wide feet: Go up a half size for more room at the toes.
• Compared with other Jordans: Most people wear the same size in the Jordan 6 as in the Jordan 1, 3, and 4.
• Try them on indoors first: Walk around on carpet in the socks you'll wear, and keep the box until you're sure about the fit.

• What pants go with Jordan 6s? Tapered track pants, cargos, and cuffed jeans. Pants that sit above the shoe keep the heel tab in view.
• Do Electric Green Jordan 6s glow in the dark? Yes. The outsole glows after it soaks up light.
• Can you still buy the Electric Green Jordan 6? It's a past release, so new pairs can be hard to find. Check JD's Jordan 6 page for current colorways and the release calendar for upcoming drops.
• How do I clean black suede Jordan 6s? Use a soft suede brush when they're dry. Don't soak them or put them in the washer.

• Buy the Electric Green Jordan 6 if: you like dark, techy outfits and want a sneaker with bright details that stand out, especially at night.

• Skip it if: you prefer soft, light colors or a very simple look. The bright green and glowing sole are bold.

• Can't find this pair? Look for other black-based Jordan 6 colorways. The same outfit tips work for any dark Jordan 6.
