Detailed Look at the Rare Air Jordan 6 “Tim Howard” PE

With the U.S. Men’s National Team opening its 2026 World Cup campaign today, one of the rarest soccer-inspired Jordan PEs has resurfaced at the perfect time.

Thanks to English Sole, we now have a detailed look at the 2014 Air Jordan 6 “Tim Howard” PE, a special player-exclusive pair created in honor of the longtime USMNT goalkeeper. The design celebrates Howard’s connection to the national team, arriving in a clean white, navy, grey, and red palette that ties directly back to the U.S. kit.

The pair features a white upper covered in 3M reflective material, giving the otherwise simple base a subtle flash in the light. Grey hits appear on the tongue, heel pull, toe, and outsole, while navy speckled detailing wraps the midsole. Red accents on the heel embroidery, visible Air unit, and heel pull add the final patriotic touch.

What makes the pair even more interesting is its rarity. The Air Jordan 6 “Tim Howard” PE never received an official retail release, and only around 30 pairs are believed to be floating around among the general public. The pair shown here also comes with special promo packaging, further separating it from a standard Jordan Brand release.

More than a decade later, the timing could not be better. With the USMNT back on the world stage, this rare Air Jordan 6 stands as one of Jordan Brand’s more unexpected links between basketball, soccer, and American sports culture.

Pairs are not expected to release, but this latest look gives collectors a rare chance to revisit one of the most elusive Air Jordan 6 PEs ever made.
