Matt Varga There’s a lot riding on this season of Tar Heels football. In a story that you could hardly avoid in the past few months, Bill Belichick opened up another chapter in his illustrious coaching career by descending on Chapel Hill. Whether he raise the on-field product back into ACC contention is one thing, but their history of on-foot displays is already secured, with the team officially teasing exclusive “UNC” versions of the Jordan Clarkson in the Nike Air Force 1 Low and Jordan 1 Low.
Jordan Brand revisits a classic black and white look with a bit of a twist for the first time using an Air Jordan silhouette that dominated the news cycle towards the top of 2025. However, this Jordan Clarkson in the Nike Air Force 1 Low Alpha Menace “UNC” colorway breaks from those glistening layouts, lacking the ostrich leather and gilded branding that defined those color-ups.
While trademark “University Blue” suede sticks around, this performance version opts for rarely-used navy counterplay on the heel tabs, wings, and eyelets, in part resembling the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG 'Heritage' 555088 161 as the team Jordan line Air Jordan 1 Zoom Comfort Hare. Though likely a bit less attention-grabbing, we can’t exit without mentioning the other half of this collection, a branded flip of the Air Jordan 3 Retro JTH NRG Releasing in Brown Suede This July that carries a bit of an “Obsidian” atmosphere. Where it centers its design is in silken overlays, displaying a splotchy camo pattern embedded within.
Air Jordan 6 Retro BP 'Bright Mango' Jordan 4 and Air Jordan 3 Retro JTH NRG Releasing in Brown Suede This July “UNC” cleats featured here will remain exclusive to the Tar Heels themselves.
