Brand: Nike

Model: Air Jordan 3 “UNC”

Key Features: This UNC-themed Nike Air Jordan 3 is the closest most of us will ever get to the super-limited PEs gifted to athletes and staff at Michael Jordan’s alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Carolina blue details are a nod to the school, while the elephant print at the heel and toe is a signature hallmark of the AJ3. A special insole tag pays homage to Michael Jordan’s journey from North Carolina to GOAT.

Release Date: March 7

Price: $190

Buy: Nike and select retailers such as Feature, END., and Sneakersnstuff

Editor’s Notes: The Nike Air Jordan 3 in UNC colors is set to arrive later this week, on March 7. The sneaker will be available via Nike SNKRS as well as select retailers, most of which announced raffles for the shoe earlier this week. Check out shots of the kicks above and stay tuned to further release information.
