Matt Varga Jayson Tatum may not have taken on UH during his Duke tenure, nor is his connection to H-Town more broadly all that storied. However, being a Jordan Brand school means the perks don’t have to come with much narrative undercurrents. As college hoops season looks to its high point with the impending March Madness slate, the Cougars are suiting up in some fresh footwear, with a University of Houston Jordan Tatum 4 now hitting social media feeds.
The first such piece of collegiate exclusive wear we’ve caught sight of so far, the Tatum 4 utilizes its branching, interwoven overlays for a full embrace of team-specific callouts. Namely, a mosiac pattern of UH logos, “Houston Cougars” and “For The City” spellouts, stars, Jumpmans, and cartoon depictions of Shasta the mascot capture an all-over print. In the spaces between, the palette goes the only direction it really can, with proud white and red setting the tone for this shoe.
As with any college PEs, you’ll need a direct connection to the University of Houston or a willingness to shell out on the secondary market to make this Jordan Tatum 4 yours. However, you can still take this pair in from afar via the images below; watch our Jordan Releases 2026 page for info on product actually coming to shelves.
