The Air Jordan 11 Low Gets a UNC-Inspired "University Blue" Colorway

Jordan Brand has dropped countless nods to MJ’s alma mater over the years, but it looks like 2017 will see the release of one of the best Tar Heels-inspired kicks yet: a “UNC” rendition of the low-top Air Jordan 11. Last seen way back in 2001, the Air Jordan 11 Low “UNC” is getting a little bit of an overhaul for 2017’s retro drop, swapping out the “Columbia Blue” hue of the original in favor of a “University Blue” hue while applying a corresponding blue-tinted translucent rubber to the outsole. Otherwise the kicks largely stay true to form and feature their usual leather construction, patent leather mudguard and nylon lacing system.

While a concrete release date remains unknown, the 2017 edition of the Air Jordan 11 Low “UNC” is currently slated to hit shelves next summer.
