The Air Jordan Retro 9 “UNC” kid’s shoe celebrates Michael Jordan’s college basketball career. The shoe mainly sports white and midnight navy on the upper and patent leather overlays. Dark navy eyelets and crisp white laces decorate the look. It’s then finished with Carolina blue Jumpman logos at the heel, midfoot and outsole.
There are moments in MJ’s career that shaped his legacy, and it all started with the game-winning shot that brought North Carolina a national title in 1982. Paying tribute to his alma mater and the city of Charlotte, this special-edition Air Jordan IX re-creates the 2002 “Pearl Blue” colorway with hints of navy and university blue on the white leather upper.
