Air Jordan 6 "Six Championships": Celebrating UNC's Legacy on the Court

 

With Michael Jordan's roots at the University of North Carolina, the UNC Tar Heels have enjoyed a special relationship with Jordan Brand, especially in terms of Player Edition sneakers. Among these prized collectibles, the 2017 "Six Championships" edition of the Air Jordan 6 stands out as a compelling tribute to the Tar Heels' basketball glory.

Displayed at Marcus Jordan's Trophy Room sneaker boutique, this Air Jordan 6 was created to honor the six times the Tar Heels clinched victory in March Madness: 1957, 1982, 1993, 2005, 2009, and 2017. Each winning year is embroidered on the heel, with Michael Jordan's own winning year of 1982 featured on the left heel.

The design showcases a rich navy blue suede covering the entire upper, reflecting UNC's alternate color scheme. University Blue accents adorn the midsole's eye-liner, and a translucent icy blue rubber outsole adds a touch of elegance. The transparent tongue reveals the iconic argyle patterns associated with UNC jerseys.
