The “UNC” or University of North Carolina colourway has adorned plenty of different Air Jordan silhouettes over the years, honouring the university where Michael Jordan first played competitive basketball in his rookie year. The latest model to take on the colourway is the Air Jordan 6 that first launched back in 1991. Designed by none other than Tinker Hatfield, the AJ6 was inspired by MJ’s German sports car at the time, and conveyed a modern look that had not been seen previously.
Fast forward to the present day and the AJ6 is still a very well-loved silhouette that has played host to plenty of high-heat collaborations over the years. Decked out in white, light blue and navy, the model looks better than ever here and we’re sure that plenty of sneakerheads will be looking to get their hands on these!
The uppers are crafted from premium leather and synthetic fabrics for a modern aesthetic, with branding here kept to the minimum, instead letting the silhouette do all the talking. Jordan Brand’s iconic Jumpman logo is embroidered onto the tongue tabs, while we have another Jordan logo stitched onto the heels. The translucent plastic tongue is also a key feature here, along with the blue lace locks. This all sits on top of a multi-layer midsole that conceals a visible Nike Air unit under the heels.
If you’re looking to add the Air Jordan 6 “UNC” to your collection, then there are rumours of the pair releasing early next year, although we don’t have anything set in stone just yet. Make sure to keep it locked in right here at The Sole Supplier for all the latest news and updates as they’re unveiled and while you’re here, check out Jordan Brand’s summer 2022 collection!
