The Air Jordan 6 ‘UNC’ Graduates at JD Sports
The long awaited ‘UNC’ is finally landing at for Oz-based sneakerheads to cop! This contextually correct colourway is a continued celebration of alma mater and references an OG arrangement. Ahead of its launch this weekend, get up close and personal with this pretty pair.
The AJ6 ‘Carmine’ – a big hit at JD when it returned in 2021 – serves as a visible inspiration for the colour-blocking of its ‘UNC’ descendant. This is expressed via the alternating white and namesake blue panelling on the upper, which mixes leather and durabuck respectively, before meeting a black midsole strip. Complementary accents including the heel tab and lace toggle match up to this third colour. Underfoot, the outsoles are iced out per the OGs, and the Air unit remains clear too. 1990s basketball historians will also appreciate the woven silver and red heel tag that’s reminiscent of basketball jerseys and other products from the era, which replaces the usual Nike Air branding.
