The University of North Carolina unveiled their exclusive Air Jordan 23 Retro PE. This unveiling places the spotlight back on the Jordan 23 model, a silhouette that has seen limited activity outside of a few select releases, notably in China. Multiple NCAA programs have received their colorway on the silhouette alongside this UNC pair, including the Georgetown Hoyas, Oklahoma Sooners, Howard Bisons, and UCLA Bruins.
This particular Player Exclusive model for the UNC Tar Heels is a masterpiece of sneaker design, blending the university's iconic colors with the premium aesthetics of the Air Jordan 23. The upper combines suede and leather in a way that pays homage to the craftsmanship and innovation of Jordan Brand. The white leather, perforated for enhanced breathability, lays the foundation for a design as functional as it is visually striking. The suede panels add a layer of sophistication, with the lateral side proudly showcasing an embossed Tar Heels mascot, signifying the deep bond between the institution and its legendary alums. The medial side of the sneaker is no less impressive, featuring a quilted finish that's both stylish and comfortable. The UNC logo is delicately embroidered within this intricate quilting, serving as a subtle yet powerful reminder of the university's legacy in shaping basketball legends.
Although the Air Jordan 23 Retro UNC PE is not available for public purchase, it celebrates the heritage of the University of North Carolina, the alma mater of Michael Jordan.
