Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro ‘University of North Carolina’ PE 2012 | Size 13

Produced in 2012, this Nike Air Jordan 4 Retro PE pays homage to the University of North Carolina.

Dressed in a predominantly University Blue nubuck upper, the pair features navy and white accents throughout. The midsole, sockliner, and heel tab showcase the argyle pattern commonly associated with UNC’s athletic uniforms.

Additional details include the Tar Heel barefoot logo on the exterior tongue label and the UNC logo on the interior tongue.

Reserved for affiliates of the university’s athletic program, this pair was produced in extremely limited quantities and was never released to the public.

In August 1985, Nike introduced the ‘College Colors’ program with the iconic tagline, ‘Be True to Your School’ (BTTYS). This campaign celebrated the launch of the Nike Dunk and featured seven original colorways representing some of the nation’s premier college basketball programs. Teams like Kentucky, Michigan, UNLV, Syracuse, St. John’s, Villanova, and Iowa each received a signature shoe, marking the beginning of a cherished tradition.

Similarly, Jordan Brand’s College PE sneakers offer athletic programs a unique opportunity to showcase their school pride. These exclusive editions are crafted specifically for Jordan Brand teams, blending team identity with the rich heritage of the Jordan brand. Each pair features school colors, logos, and premium materials, making them both distinctive and highly coveted. Beyond their exclusivity, College PEs serve as a testament to Jordan’s lasting influence in the current world of sport, all the while driving enthusiasm among collectors and fans alike.
