March Madness is on the horizon which means some of the best teams in college basketball will compete for a National championship. The stakes are incredibly high and we can’t wait to see some of the best young players take to the court. If you’re a sneakerhead, perhaps the best part of March Madness is seeing all the dope shoes the players are wearing in support of their school. Jordan Brand is well aware of how big the event is and to celebrate, they are coming through with an Air Jordan 3 dressed in University of North Carolina colors. 

Michael Jordan‘s alma mater has been the subject of numerous Jordan colorways and now, one more will be added to the collection. This model has a white leather upper with powder blue hits on the midsole, laces, and Jumpman logo. As for the packaging, according to @zsneakerheadz, the box will be powder blue with a white Jumpman logo in the middle.

These are slated to drop on Saturday, March 7th for $190 USD. If you’re in the market for a new shoe and want to show support to the Tar Heels, we highly suggest you scoop these up. Let us know what you think, in the comments below.

In celebration of the NCAA’s March Madness Tournament, Jordan Brand is finally giving sneakerheads the chance to own the popular “UNC” Air Jordan 3. The special edition kicks were originally gifted exclusively to Tar Heels student-athletes but a modified version is now scheduled to drop on March 7th.

As seen in the latest batch of photos posted by sneaker source @Zsneakerheadz, the forthcoming “UNC” 3s feature “Heart & Soul” text printed upside down behind the tongues.

Just like the player exclusive UNC 3s, the retail release features white leather uppers, equipped with the classic elephant print detailing and UNC blue accents on the mudguard, tongue and heel. Unlike the Tar Heels’ PE, the version dropping on March 7th will not feature any UNC branding and will instead opt for a carolina blue Jumpman on the tongue.

Take a closer look at the detailed photos below, and stay tuned for the official announcement from Jordan Brand.

In celebration of the NCAA’s March Madness Tournament, Jordan Brand is finally giving sneakerheads the chance to own the popular “UNC” Air Jordan 3. The kicks were originally gifted exclusively to Tar Heels student-athletes but a modified version is expected to receive a widespread retail release on March 7th.

Jordan Brand has not yet provided the official images but you can get a good idea of what to expect the IG post embedded below.

As seen in the leaked images, the UNC 3s are built on white leather uppers, equipped with the classic elephant print detailing and UNC blue accents on the mudguard, tongue and heel. Unlike the Tar Heels’ PE, the retail version will not feature any UNC branding and will instead opt for a carolina blue Jumpman on the tongue.

Again, a specific release date has not yet been confirmed but all signs point to this UNC AJ3 hitting retailers a week before the tournament kicks off.
