Air Jordan 5 Retro UNC University Blue

Where did this shade of blue come from

The Air Jordan 5 Retro "UNC University Blue" sports the colors of the North Carolina Tar Heels, the university where Michael Jordan came from. The upper is made of premium suede in a light blue shade, broken up by white and black accents as well as translucent details that catch the light when you move. Mesh panels on the sides provide breathability, and you'll find the words "Heart" and "Soul" on the heel. The sole features Air technology, so this is a pair suitable for wearing, not just for display.

How they fit and which size to choose

Suede breaks in faster than smooth leather, so the first few days of wear are gentler, though the collar above the ankle still needs a moment. The available range is from 35.5 to 45, covering both women's and men's feet in one size run. Before you pick your size, measure the length of your foot and compare it with the size chart, as that is more reliable than copying the size from shoes of another brand. Selected models from our offer can be tried on at our partner store, SneakersJoint, in Wrocław at Odrzańska 15.

What to wear them with

Light blue pairs well with grays, navy blue, and raw denim, but less so with strong colors that start competing for attention. The simplest outfit is straight jeans, a white T-shirt, and a gray hoodie. If you are looking for an alternative in a similar tone, browse our full Air Jordan 5 shelf or our wider selection of Air Jordan shoes, where you will also find more subdued versions.
