Limited Edition Air Jordan 9 ‘UNC’ PE Revealed for Players Only

New York City, NY — A rare addition to the world of sneaker culture has emerged with the unveiling of the Air Jordan 9 “UNC” Player Exclusive. Created exclusively for the University of North Carolina men’s basketball team, this sneaker was delivered during the 2024-25 season. Only about 50 pairs of this special edition exist.

The Air Jordan 9 “UNC” PE features a striking design with a white leather base, accented by a glossy University Blue patent leather mudguard and heel. Notable navy touches can be found on the lining, tongue, and outsole, while the number “23” on the heel emphasizes its connection to Michael Jordan.

Available photos showcase the sneaker’s unique details, displaying the “UNC” branding on the tongue, making it clear that these sneakers are not just for casual wear. “These weren’t meant for the masses,” a sneaker seller noted as they revealed the exclusive item.

The Air Jordan 9 has strong ties to UNC and has featured various colorways related to the school since its debut. While this exclusive variation won’t hit retail, fans of both sneakers and the Tar Heels are already dreaming of owning a pair.

For those hoping to get their hands on a pair, the reality is bleak unless you’re part of the team or a top athlete. This new release highlights the continued bond between Michael Jordan and his alma mater.
