Michael Jordan’s Player Exclusive colourway in 1987 releases for the first time ever. This Air Jordan 2 Retro Low “UNC” originates from MJ’s game-worn Air Jordan 2 Low during a UNC Alumni game. UNC colourways on Air Jordans always sell out, it looks like this will bring more attention to the Air Jordan 2!
After years in hiatus, the Air Jordan 2 is back in full swing. More common styles emerge following the highly coveted Off-White collab in 2021. This non-OG rendition has a lot of history, dating back to 1987 as a nod to MJ’s alma mater, the UNC Tar Heels.
The Air Jordan 2 may be one of the least popular early Air Jordan retros, but the shoe exudes a different aesthetic not seen in 80s basketball shoes. Pairs from 1986 were originally manufactured in Italy, hence the luxurious design. Now that the shoe is back, fans who missed out on pairs a decade ago can now cop new styles.
This Jordan 2 Retro Low UNC is a show-stopper. A distinctive silhouette conceived for no-nonsense off-court style, this contemporary design brings together comfort, support, and retro-inspired style. Its clean white leather upper highlights UNC blue accents for a textured touch.
Feature highlights include a premium faux lizard skin and Nike Air cushioning – two of the defining features that helped redefine the Jordan 2 model into one of the most luxurious Jordans ever. Additionally, the outsole features a traction pattern that is designed to hold onto surfaces and shield the foot from slips. The Jordan 2 Retro Low UNC pairs perfectly with jeans, joggers, or shorts for a comfortable and timeless look.
