Air Jordan 6 Retro 'UNC Home'

Chapel Hill. Home Court. The Color That Started Everything.

The Air Jordan 6 Retro 'UNC Home' connects two of the most significant chapters in Michael Jordan's story: the Air Jordan 6 — the shoe he wore to his first NBA Championship — and University Blue — the color of the University of North Carolina, where his journey to greatness began. Together on the AJ6 silhouette, they create a shoe that traces the complete arc of what MJ became, from Chapel Hill to Chicago, from student to champion.

Style number CT8529-410.

Two Chapters. One Shoe.

Michael Jordan arrived at the University of North Carolina in 1981 and left in 1984 as a consensus All-American, an Olympic gold medalist, and the most talked-about player entering the NBA Draft. He wore Carolina Blue throughout — the shade that represents UNC's identity and has become one of Jordan Brand's most meaningful recurring color references. Seven years after leaving Chapel Hill, he wore the Air Jordan 6 to his first NBA Championship in 1991. The 'UNC Home' colorway places those two moments in direct conversation on a single shoe.
