The Nike Air Ship “Every Game” Honors Mike's Lucky North Carolina Shorts

Though he didn't complete the traditional four-year tenure, Mike certainly showed up at North Carolina.

Over three years, Mike played 101 games, averaged 17.7 ppg, and took home one National Championship.

During that time, he never missed a game.

Somewhere along that timeline, Mike rendered his UNC practice shorts as his lucky charm; He'd wear them under his uniform every game and continue that tradition throughout his entire NBA career.

This instance informs this new Nike Air Ship "Every Game," with its Chapel Hill-flavored scheme of white leather and shaggy blue suede leaning into the rich history of Michael's Nike partnership.

It's struck with vintage-look accents that are befitting of the era, with "Every Game" embroidered in the rear as a reminder of an incredible college career. The pair comes complete with two sets of laces — sail and navy — and comes housed in a special box.

See for yourself below, and look for the Nike Air Ship "Every Game" (UNC) to release at select stockists on May 10th, 2023, for $140.

A "Bulls" colorway is expected to release the same day.
