The 'UNC' Air Jordan 3 From Perfectkicks

Jordan Brand pays homage to MJ’s college career with the Jordan 3 Retro UNC , on the NiceKicksShop. This colorway was originally created as a Player Exclusive for athletes at the University of North Carolina. After much anticipation, Jordan decided to make this release available to the public, only this time replacing the embroidered UNC logo on the tongue with their signature Jumpman logo.This Jordan 3 is comprised of a white tumbled leather upper with grey elephant print mudguards and valor blue detailing. A white rubber heel tab, visible Air unit, and grey outsole completes this design.

The institution that Michael Jordan attended for his collegiate career is being translated through Tar Heel tones as the arrangement involves a blend of white leathers and “Valor Blue” accents atop the pair’s higher lace loops, and Jumpman tongue embellishments on the base constructions. Down below, the midsole rear pieces carry the same complementary blue which further expands its ability to evoke memories of #23’s game-winning jumper during the 1982 NCAA championship.
