The University of North Carolina has long been synonymous with Michael Jordan, and it's no surprise that the university has received a plethora of exclusive Jordan Brand footwear over the years. Following the "University Blue" takeover of the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG last summer, this iconic retro silhouette has once again found its way to Chapel Hill, this time with a special colorway reserved for the women's basketball team.
This unique rendition of the Air Jordan 1 mirrors the two-toned color-blocking of the silhouette's mid-cut model from 2013. Rich leather panels are accentuated with exposed trim, creating a distinctive look. The base layer, laces, and tongue of the shoe are pristine white, providing a clean and classic backdrop for the design. UNC logos grace both tongue tabs, proudly displaying the university's affiliation.
The real standout feature of this Air Jordan 1 "UNC" PE is its exclusive sky blue hue, which blankets the remaining portions of the shoe. This signature color is featured on the tread, various upper overlays, and the textile used for the inner lining. It's a nod to the university's iconic shade and a perfect complement to the crisp white elements.
While the Air Jordan 1 "UNC" PE won't be receiving a broader release, it serves as an exclusive token for the members of the school's esteemed basketball programs. For those who admire this unique sneaker, you can still enjoy a detailed look at the pair below. It's a true representation of the strong connection between the University of North Carolina and the Jordan Brand legacy.
