Last night, one of the most heralded college basketball rivalries took place in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The UNC Tar Heels demolished the University of Kentucky Wildcats on national TV; however, that was not the only battle that took place on the hardwood.
The Air Jordan Jumpman Team Pro and the Nike Hyperdunk have been a constant force on the pro level, and it seems the college hardwoods are populated with them as well. Most of the Tar Heels sported Jumpman PEs in a White/Carolina Blue colorway with the school logo right below the Jumpman sign. High school basketball recruits have, or will choose UNC over many schools just because of its Jordan affiliation. What a nice recruiting tool!
On the other side, UK players sported a royal blue/white Nike Hyperdunk PE with its school logo on the tongue. This is very similar to the Kentucky PE we showed you earlier this month.
With the successful release of the Air Jordan Jumpman Pro earlier in the year, Jordan Brand is set to drop a low top version of the sneaker later this year. The Air Jordan Jumpman Pro Low essentially features the same body as the mid cut version with the exception of the Jumpman logo being placed a little lower on the ankle. This pair yields a black mesh and leather upper accented by a Black midsole, Black stitching, and a Black inner lining. The Air Jordan Jumpman Pro Mid - Black/Black.
