Jordan Brand will release two excellent sneakers this weekend that are included in the Jordan X "Slam Dunk" Collection, which has been making headlines over the past several days.

According to Nike, the new editions of the Air Jordan 6 Retro and Jordan Super Fly 3 were inspired by the popular Japanese manga series "Slam Dunk" that was created by Takehiko Inoue, a self-confessed fan of Michael Jordan, who inspired him to write the series.

"I have been hugely inspired by Michael Jordan's game, as well as his attitude. It's been a great honor to have this opportunity," Inoue said of the Air Jordan sneakers inspired by his creation. "At first, he was someone from a different planet - he could stay in the air longer than anybody else. Then I began to see him as someone who always encourages you to set a vision and challenge yourself to achieving it."

Included in the pack is the Varsity Red/White-Varsity Red colorway of the Air Jordan 6 Retro, dubbed as the "Slam Dunk" edition of this popular retro model.

The Air Jordan 6 Retro "Slam Dunk" features a red-based upper part along manga-themed prints inspired by the series. Instead of the usual "23" stitching, Jordan Brand replaced it with "10" -- the jersey number of Hanamichi Sakuragi, the main character of the anime.

"The limited Slam Dunk edition has an interesting take on the iconic silhouette. An all-red upper features the iconic imagery fans of the 31-volumed manga series have grown to love. The images highlight moments from the series, paying tribute to the legacy of Sakuragi's personal growth and on-court talent," the shoe as described by Nike.

The Air Jordan 6 Retro "Slam Dunk" will hit the market on Nov.1, Saturday and will be available for $250 per pair.

Aside from the newest colorway of the Air Jordan 6 Retro, Jordan Brand will also release their latest sneaker -- the Jordan Super Fly 3 in a Slam Dunk-inspired edition.

The Jordan Super Fly 3 "Slam Dunk" features a black-based upper part with unique sketches and finished off with white midsole and red outsole.

The Black/White-Varsity Red colorway of the Jordan Super Fly 3 will also be released on Saturday with retail price set at $185 per pair. More photos of the shoes are available on this link.
