A familiar pastel hue is used to depict Michael Jordan's alma mater on the Air Jordan 5 Retro SE 'UNC'. University Blue nubuck uppers feature tonal TPU eyelets, ventilated quarter-panel netting, and woven jock tags. For enhanced visibility in low-light conditions, a reflective silver Jumpman is embroidered on the tongue. An Air-sole unit in the heel provides lightweight cushioning and is highlighted with speckled shark-tooth details. The outsole offers optimal traction with a translucent herringbone pattern.
