One of the benefits of playing at the University of North Carolina is the Jordan Brand sponsorship. Being associated with the GOAT, Michael Jordan, the perks are there for the athletes and on Wednesday, we got another example of that.
Hours before North Carolina’s big win over Cal to extend their win streak to four games, the program’s X account posted a tweet showcasing a new colorway of the Air Jordan 4.
The classic model gets a UNC-inspired treatment with it being a player exclusive. The pictures show the shoe which is built with a suede base showcasing both light and dark shades of monochromatic “University Blue” throughout.
It’s finished off with detailing that includes metallic gold touches with a UNC tag on the laces, and gold Jumpman logos on the tongue and heel which also feature a crystal basketball at the end of the dunking hand on the Jumpman logo.

This is easily one of the more detailed Air Jordan player exclusives for North Carolina featuring that gold and crystal ball. It’s a nice touch to the shoe and something you don’t see often.
The bad news? These are player exclusives so the only way to get these are to be a player, staff member or very connected to the program.
