The Carolina Blue has played an integral role in the Michael Jordan x A Tribe Called Quest Air Jordan I Low End Theory’s legacy as it was prioritized on two unforgettable JAM back in 2008. Not only did it serve in-line purposes with one of the cleaner GR colorways of the silhouette, but it also lent its color scheme to the individually-numbered Michael Jordan x A Tribe Called Quest Air Jordan I Low End Theory “Titanium” — Air Jordan 5 JumpDucks Oregon Ducks PE.
Now, the Jumpman is dutifully returning the favor to the UNC Tar Heels by blessing their football program with the school’s first-ever Air Jordan XX3 Player Exclusive. Utilizing the striking powder blue, navy and white, Jordan Brand adds a molded suede upper depicting the Tar Heel mascot, while the opposite side features a quilted stitching with the NC emblem. The tongues feature the same logo in embroidered form, while “Go Heels” appears on the inner side.
The twenty-third model seems to be the model of choice for the 2023/2024 Player Exclusive circuit; we’ve already seen the Michael Jordan x A Tribe Called Quest Air Jordan I Low End Theory “Georgetown” crafted in the same manner alongside other Jordan Brand schools. However, the shoe is currently out of circulation, appearing only as a China-exclusive drop last Fall.
