The Jordan Spizike Low “UNC” continues a treasured tradition combining the best elements of Jordan Brand’s storied past with a fresh, collegiate-inspired look.

Rooted in history, the Spizike silhouette was first introduced in 2006 as a tribute to the legendary Spike Lee and his influence on sneaker culture. The hybrid model fuses design elements from iconic Air Jordan models, including the Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan 4, Air Jordan 5, and the Air Jordan 6, making it a fan-favorite for its nostalgic appeal and innovative design.

This time, the Spizike Low dons the revered “UNC” colorway, paying homage to Michael Jordan’s alma mater, the University of North Carolina. The sneaker’s upper is dressed in white leather, accented by Carolina Blue hits on the midsole, eyelets, and lining — a nod to the Tar Heels’ signature colors. The elephant print overlays on the mudguard and heel bring a classic AJ3 vibe, aligned with the storied aesthetics of the Jordan Spizike.

The “UNC” colorway has become synonymous with Jordan Brand, representing not just MJ’s collegiate beginnings but also the brand’s deep-rooted connection to basketball culture. Over the years, the light blue and white palette has graced several iconic Air Jordan models, solidifying its place as one of the most beloved color schemes among fans.

The Jordan Spizike Low “UNC” releases in Fall 2024 for $160 via Nike.com and select retailers.
