Jordan Brand drew inspiration from Michael Jordan's alma mater, the University of North Carolina, for the Air Jordan 6 Retro UNC. Constructed with University Blue Durabuck and white leather, it utilizes color blocking reminiscent of the renowned Jordan 6 Carmine. Hits of navy blue on the tongue and midsole integrate UNC's lesser known school color. At the heel, a Jordan Team patch nods to the jock tags that are stitched to the bottom of UNC's uniforms. An icy semi-translucent Air sole completes the design. The Air Jordan 6 Retro UNC released in March of 2022 and retailed for $210. The Air Jordan 6 Retro ‘UNC Home’ features a white leather upper with nubuck underlays in University Blue. Contrasting navy accents make their way to the molded TPU heel tab, textile collar lining, and polyurethane midsole, enhanced with visible Air-sole cushioning. Reflective perforations provide added visibility in low-light conditions, while a woven jock tag at the heel nods to the shoe’s varsity athletics theme.
