Jordan Brand's tradition of honoring its NCAA partnerships with PE sneakers continues into 2024, showcasing an exciting start to the year. Following the reveal of Georgetown and Oklahoma’s Jordan 23 PEs, the prestigious UCLA Bruins are the latest to receive this exclusive treatment. The Air Jordan 23, a model known for its sophisticated design and advanced technology, has been uniquely tailored to represent the spirit and colors of the UCLA Bruins.
UCLA's Air Jordan 23 is a stunning school pride and sneaker craftsmanship display. The shoe is constructed from a blend of suede, leather, and TPU, carefully chosen to reflect the Bruins' iconic color palette. The design prominently features white leather on the toe and tongue, adorned with UCLA's logo on the tongue tag, paying homage to the university's esteemed heritage. The midfoot panel is intricately embossed with the image of Joe Bruin, the school's beloved mascot, creating a standout feature against the suede background.
The sneaker's medial side is equally impressive, showcasing a quilted pattern with "UCLA" elegantly stitched in the center, symbolizing the school's enduring legacy. The phrase "Mighty Bruins" is thoughtfully split between the left and right tongues, adding an internal touch of Bruin spirit. Complementing the white and blue color scheme are yellow accents on the collar and midsole, injecting an air of luxury and prestige into the design. The sneaker's white outsole features a clear segment, artfully revealing the carbon fiber structure beneath.
While the Air Jordan 23 UCLA PE is not slated for public release, its creation is a testament to the enduring relationship between UCLA and Jordan Brand. These exclusive sneakers embody the spirit of the Bruins and are sure to be a coveted item among collectors and fans alike.
