Well, the North Carolina Tar Heels put together another impressive season this year, winning 26 games and netting a 4-seed in the NCAA Tournament, but it all ended last night. UNC led for much of the way in its Sweet 16 matchup, but in the end they fell short against 1-seed against Wisconsin. But, hey . . . at least they had cool shoes.
Today, take another, closer look at said shoes, the Air Jordan XX9 UNC Tar Heels PE that got their premiere last night. Really utilizing the full design potential of the XX9’s knit upper, the shoe starts solid light blue throughout, with the school’s Rameses mascot printed — a bit massively, I might add — on the lateral side. School spirit and shoe style combine to wildly distinct effect.
Alas, with the 2015 Tourney now sans Heels, you probably won’t be seeing much of the Air Jordan XX9 UNC Tar Heels PE going forward. Unless of course our expectations are subverted and a launch comes to fruition. Here’s hoping!
