If any team’s gonna get some hot player exclusives, it’ll be MJ’s alma mater, The University of North Carolina. This year, they’ve received the Air Jordan 2012s. As you can see, they are very similar to the production version, except the the UNC logo has been placed on the side. There’s no telling how many pairs were actually produced, but don’t expect to get your hands on these any time soon.
Like almost every Air Jordan model, Jordan Brand has created a special Air Jordan 2012 colorway to give tribute to MJ’s North Carolina roots. This time, a mostly university blue upper has been used, complemented with white graphics and grey on the lace area and outsole. An official release date is yet to be announced, but you can get these early at Soleawesome.
With the NCAA in full effect, it’s no surprise to see players wearing team exclusive colorways. Following the tradition of the previous years, Jordan Brand has created to special colorways of the Air Jordan 2011 for Georgetown and North Carolina. Georgetown will sport the pair on the left, which has a dark blue and white upper, with an icey clear outsole. Only the best for MJ’s alma mater, as UNC gets a similar colorway, except with university blue. I sure hope these get a public release, they are some of the best colorways we’ve seen so far.
Looking for some gear to go with the 25th Anniversary Air Jordan 1s? Then check out this new jersey from Jordan Brand. An updated version of MJ’s North Carolina uniform, this jersey feature silver lettering and lining, as well as a Jumpman emblem, placed on the left breast. The inside layer has received the elephant print treatment. In addition to the jersey, Nike and Cole Haan worked together to create a beautiful white leather duffle bag. Whether you’re looking for the jersey or the duffle bag or both, act fast, as only 500 units were made of each.
As part of its University Pack, Nike has created Dunk models to represent North Carolina and Syracuse. The first pair is for UNC, and has a light blue and white upper with navy strings. A similar color pattern has been used on the Syracuse Dunks, except orange has been used instead of white, and you’ll find blue laces. Both colorways are available now at Caliroots as well as ebay.
