Update: Jordan Brand is going back in time to 2001, when it introduced the Air Jordan 11 Low with its UNC-themed “University Blue” colorway. The beloved colorway is set to make a return this summer, which we reported on back in late September. Now, a first look at the sneaker has been revealed, confirming many assumptions. Its signature blue hue returns to the patent leather mudguard, joining a white upper that matches the midsole. Meanwhile, an icy translucent outsole completes the sneaker alongside blue Jumpman branding at the heel. Stay tuned for updates, including official images, as the sneaker remains anticipated to drop on April 18 via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a starting price of $190 USD.
Original Story: The Air Jordan 11 Low “University Blue,” a beloved colorway that first dropped in 2001 and was last seen in 2017, is making a comeback in summer 2026. Jordan Brand is anticipated to faithfully recreate the original design, bringing back the iconic two-toned aesthetic on a classic silhouette.
Similar to the previous release, this iteration features a clean white mesh upper complemented by a glossy Carolina blue patent leather mudguard. It is finished with an icy translucent outsole and subtle black branding on the heel, creating a sleek and timeless look. The UNC-inspired palette pays homage to Michael Jordan’s time at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, making it a perfect summer staple with a story behind it. This sneaker is a must-have for collectors and a versatile choice for casual wearers.
Although no official images have been released, the expected release date is April 18. Stay tuned for further updates and refer to pictures of the 2017 Air Jordan 11 Low “University Blue” for an idea of its upcoming look.
