Air Jordan 5 gets a UNC makeover, lined up for Spring 2023 release
On June 16, 2022, a renowned Jordan sleuth, namely @zsneakerheadz, shared the first glimpse of the highly-anticipated Air Jordan 5 in “UNC” colorway.
The story of the fifth iteration of the iconic silhouette, as stated on the brand's official website, reads:
“Since his game-winning shot that brought championship glory to North Carolina, Michael Jordan has been at the forefront of basketball consciousness. He took to the court in 1985 wearing the original Air Jordan I, simultaneously breaking league rules and his opponents' will, while capturing the imaginations of fans worldwide.”
The entire body of these shoes feature tints of blue, black, white, and reflective silver. Fashioned with premium nubuck, the sleek uppers mainly boast blue and silver accents.
Here, the eyelets and the drawstrings are created in University Blue color, while the tongue flaps are colored in a reflective greyish silver hue. The broad tongues are garnished with the bold black Jumpman emblem embroidered on one end.
The medial sides are incorporated with the characteristic TPU nettings in distinct hues of blue. The original serrated design on the midsoles, which is the distinctive feature of AJ5 shoes, is executed perfectly with white tints.
Furthermore, the collegiate patches are used to adorn the heel counters of these monotone uppers. The black midsoles, embellished with tooth-like designs, are banded together with the frosty blue translucent outer sole units.
Every pair will be delivered in a special box and packaging that matches the aesthetic.
