UCLA has been officially added to the Jordan Brand’s 2025 player edition (PE) sneaker family, alongside schools like UNC, Florida, and Oklahoma, being given exclusive Air Jordan cleats to kick off the season.

The new UCLA cleats for the upcoming 2025 season are a two-piece pack, which include the Air Jordan 4 and Air Jordan 1 Low. Each sneaker is styled in colorways of the program’s official colors, while incorporating a more clean and subtle style, for a sneaker fit for game day.

The Air Jordan 4 Cleat features a black nubuck upper, with light blue accents on the netting, wings, and heel branding, with UCLA’s cursive logo embroidered onto the left tongue. White laces and a pop of brighter blue on the cleat plate, is the final touch to the sneaker.

The Air Jordan 1 Low Cleat takes a different route, with the basketball silhouette on a black and grey elephant print base, with baby blue accents on the Swoosh, Wings logo, and outsole. These sneakers feature various textures, including synthetic satin, matte overlays, to achieve the sharp, yet subtle take on the AJ1, staying true to the classic lifestyle roots of the sneaker.

The PE’s for UCLA lack the well-known gold color most commonly associated with the program, however, this “UNC-style” of colorways allows for a sleek, yet modern look. A look that is both retro and contemporary, for the brand’s ongoing PE series which often collides collegiate spirit with Jordan performance heritage.

In the months ahead, we can look forward to additional releases from the Jordan Brand’s PE family from other Jordan-sponsored football programs, all while continuing to elevate the Jumpman’s already rich relationship with college athletics.
