Ahead of March Madness 2025, Jordan Brand has treated its sponsored collegiate basketball programs to a special Air Jordan 4. Today, the University of Cincinnati's Bearcats unveiled their Player-Exclusives (PE).
Shared via Instagram, the limited, commemorative makeup of Tinker Hatfield's 36-year-old design joins pairs crafted for Michael Jordan's alma mater, as well as the Howard Bison, Florida Gators, and Oklahoma Sooners squads. In comparison, the Cincinnati Bearcats' PE features an understated off-white color scheme across most of its construction. The reserved medley allows for the slightest of contrast to revel in the spotlight.
Like the 'First Class' Air Jordan retro gifted to select WNBA players in 2024, the latest exclusive from Team Jumpman features a number of shimmering 'Metallic Gold' and diamond details throughout the upper. Hatfield's original design is retouched with premium leather throughout the upper, as well as the Bearcats's branding on the lace dubrae, special hangtag, and tongue's underside.
