Michael Jordan, famous for his competitive spirit, had meticulous routines. One of them was wearing his University of North Carolina (UNC) practice shorts beneath his professional uniform. This tradition started in college, where he led the UNC Tar Heels to an NCAA championship in 1982. These “Lucky” shorts symbolized a connection to his roots. The light blue shorts, representing UNC’s colors, became a talisman for Jordan. They accompanied him throughout his legendary career with the Chicago Bulls.

The new Air Jordan 3 release honors these memorable shorts. The sneaker is expected to feature colors and designs similar to UNC’s blue and white. Subtle details like mesh fabric and specific color blocking will echo the original practice shorts’ design. This release not only celebrates Jordan’s time at UNC but also his successful NBA career. His career includes six championships and many memorable moments.

Air Jordan 3 Lucky Shorts Release Date

The Air Jordan 3 “Lucky Shorts” will be available on February 22, 2025. You can find them at select Jordan Brand retailers, both in-store and online, as well as on Nike.com.
