It’s no secret that Michael Jordan is very appreciative of his former school, the University of North Carolina. After spending four years there during his NCAA career, Jordan has made a number of appearances and creating a handful of player exclusive models and colorways for his sneakers. Now, the Jordan Trainer 2 Flyknit is the latest sneaker to get the Tar Heel treatment. Both signature colors of the school’s team are well represented, with the strap acting as a border between the baby blue and the white on the sneaker’s upper. The sneaker’s Flyknit body is paired with Nike’s signature Air Zoom sole, creating a shoe that’s both lightweight and comfortable.

The Jordan Trainer 2 Flyknit “Tar Heel” colorway is available now at select Jordan Brand retailers for $140 USD, with an online release expected to come soon.
