Matt Varga There’s a lot riding on this season of Tar Heels football. In a story that you could hardly avoid in the past few months, Bill Belichick opened up another chapter in his illustrious coaching career by descending on Chapel Hill. Whether he raise the on-field product back into ACC contention is one thing, but their history of on-foot displays is already secured, with the team officially teasing exclusive “UNC” versions of the Air Jordan 4 and Jordan 1 Low.
Those who pay attention to this sort of exclusive footwear will note that this mirrors a run of basketball PEs that dominated the news cycle towards the top of 2025. However, this Air Jordan 4 Alpha Menace “UNC” colorway breaks from those glistening layouts, lacking the ostrich leather and gilded branding that defined those color-ups.
While trademark “University Blue” suede sticks around, this performance version opts for rarely-used navy counterplay on the heel tabs, wings, and eyelets, in part resembling the ultra-rare 2012 samples and a similar look on the Jordan 1 PE. Though likely a bit less attention-grabbing, we can’t exit without mentioning the other half of this collection, a branded flip of the Air Jordan 1 Low that carries a bit of an “Obsidian” atmosphere. Where it centers its design is in silken overlays, displaying a splotchy camo pattern embedded within.
As promised through with the subtitle, the Air Jordan 4 and Air Jordan 1 Low “UNC” cleats featured here will remain exclusive to the Tar Heels themselves.
