Jordan Brand is set to make noise once again this weekend with the release of three excellent shoes that will surely become hot items on the sneaker market.

One Saturday, June 7, two new colorways of the Air Jordan 6 Retro will come out - two special editions composing Jordan Brand's "Celebration Collection."

According to Nike, these two new Air Jordan 6 Retro sneakers were made to commemorate Michael Jordan's six NBA championships during his illustrious basketball career.

"Big victories require big celebrations. Two unique Air Jordan 6 Retros pay a fitting tribute to the first of many with a unique ring lace toggle and a special graphic on the back heel to commemorate the six biggest victories of a storied career," Nike noted.

First up is the Raw Umber/Chilling Red-Team Red-Metallic colorway, which is dubbed as the "Cigar" edition of this retro sneaker.

The Air Jordan 6 Retro "Cigar" features a cigar-like, brown-based upper part with several shades of red hints throughout the sneaker along with gold and white hints, and finished off with an icy blue translucent outsole.

The second one is the "Champagne" edition, which is officially listed as the Pure Green/Metallic Gold-Chilling Red-Black colorway of this classic shoe.

The Air Jordan 6 Retro "Champagne" sports a green-based upper part similar to that of a champagne bottle along with shiny gold tongue. It also sports black laces and speckled midsole that sit on a glow-in-the-dark outsole.

These two colorways will be released simultaneously, but will be sold separately. Each pair will sell at $250 per pair in select Jordan Brand accounts on a limited basis.

Aside from the "Celebration Collection", Jordan Brand will also release another potential hit - the Air Jordan 11 Retro Low "Infrared 23" that will also arrive at retailers on Saturday.

This edition, which is often compared to the "Space Jam" edition of this shoe, has a black-based upper part along with a white midsole and translucent outsole with Infrared 23 hints.

"One of the most iconic and beloved Air Jordan models of all time, the Air Jordan 11 followed MJ's insight of bringing a formal look to the court, using patent leather for the first time in an athletic shoe," Nike noted.

The Air Jordan 11 Retro Low "Infrared 23", which will be the third colorway of this retro sneaker this year, will be available in full family sizing - $150 for men, $115 for gradeschool, $70 for preschool, and $50 for toddlers.
