UNC Football is stepping into the 2024 season with some serious heat on their feet. The team recently unveiled an exclusive Player Edition (PE) Air Jordan 3 Cleat, blending performance with iconic Jordan Brand style. These cleats, while eye-catching, are strictly for team use and will not be available to the public.

The design pays homage to the classic Air Jordan 3 silhouette, with a pristine White leather upper accented by UNC’s signature University Blue. The iconic elephant print wraps around the toe cap and heel, adding a touch of nostalgia to this modern athletic gear. The cleat is equipped with durable spikes and a supportive midsole to ensure peak performance on the gridiron.

A standout feature of these cleats is the “Nike Air” branding on the heels, a nod to the original Air Jordan 3 released in 1988. This detail not only adds to the authenticity and appeal of the design but also reinforces the connection between UNC’s football team and the Jordan legacy, given Michael Jordan’s deep ties to the university.

The tongue showcases the embroidered UNC logo in University Blue, making it clear that these cleats are crafted specifically for the Tar Heels. The pairing of heritage design with modern performance technology ensures that UNC players will not only look good but also perform at their best.

While these cleats won’t hit the retail market, their design is a testament to the ongoing collaboration between Jordan Brand and UNC, offering a glimpse of what happens when style meets performance on the football field. For sneakerheads and Tar Heels fans alike, these cleats are sure to become a coveted piece of UNC football lore.
