today we're gonna be taking at the unc college pe there were only 250 pairs of this shoe made
and i finally found a size 13 for my collection if you guys didn't know by now my name is dj and
this is the dna show on this channel i love to break down sneakers giving you guys the history
and talking about styles cuts and materials and especially player exclusive sneakers like this
so if you haven't already consider subscribing because you could be the next one that'll get us
to a million subscribers so before i get started with all the dope details and amazing materials
on the shoe we gotta talk about the history first michael jordan played for the university of north
carolina before he went to the nba and he definitely takes pride in his alma mater
still to this day because of jordan's success on and off the court and him sponsoring the
school with jordan brand it automatically put the basketball team in a place where they could
put all the players in the best jordan releases that were coming out in those times fast forward
a few more years and we saw oregon get pes and then next thing you know university of north
carolina started getting decked out with some dope stuff we have now come to a custom to see all the
major universities sponsored by jordan brand get a special pe each and every year and it tends to
be a different model each time they do it so this pair in particular was made for the football team
a couple years ago and that's why there's around 250 pairs created there's usually around 100 guys
on the team plus staff friends and family who worked on the project and then other people who
are affiliated to the brand that's why we typically see a higher quantity made than
the actual amount of players that are on the team but either way at the end of the day 250 pairs is
very limited when you think the grand scheme of things when it comes to normal releases
where you see a hundred thousand pairs sometimes even a million or two million pairs similar to the
cool grade 11's that we saw released for christmas so hopefully that gives you a quick glimpse on how
the shoe came about to be what it is today and why it's so limited and why the shoe is worth so
much money later in the video we'll talk more numbers and opinions and how everybody thinks
about the shoe but for now we need to talk about the details because this shoe is fire starting
with the bottom of the shoe you have your classic air jordan 1 outsole with the navy blue vibes all
throughout going up to the side of the foot you have a pure white midsole with a white stitch
and onto the upper all the upper you essentially have a mixture of three dominant materials on here
you have more of a stingray vibe when it comes to the toe and the back end a crocodile throughout
the front end of the toe and around the collar and then a cracked leather on the mid panel of
the foot so starting on the front end of the shoe you have your baby blue crocodile wrapping around
the toe and around the eye stays here at the top end and all the way throughout the lacing system
leading to the top of the shoe the top panel on the toe box is covered in a navy blue stingray
like material these come standard with a pair of baby blue wax laces normally we get a regular pair
of laces so even we have a premium vibe here when it comes to the laces as well just behind
that you have a baby blue mesh tongue with the nike air and branding here on the navy blue and
then you have a unc logo branded in navy blue on the other foot going to the mid panel of the foot
this is actually something that we saw introduced on this shoe because these were created in 2019
and we actually see the ama magnet air jordan ones that came out in 2021 and they have very
similar materials when it comes to that side panel and the overall texture of the shoe in the center
of that you have your same stingray-like material when it comes to the navy blue swoosh and the cup
on the back end with the wing strap on the top your air jordan wings logo here is in baby blue
and above and below that you have a baby blue croc material just like we saw around the front end of
the toe the sock liner on these is all unc blue as well and the insole is unc blue with the navy blue
nike air on the right foot and a unc logo on the left foot so the same logos that you see on the
tongue is gonna be the same logos that you see on the insoles as well so based on those detail
shots let me know what you guys think about this shoe when it comes to overall quality
there is no way you can't say this shoe isn't nice and when it comes to color blocking this is also
very interesting because we have seen stuff that is like this but not exactly the same the original
unc air jordan 1 comes with the two-tone unc and white upper classic color blacking pattern that we
have seen on many of sneakers over the years and that is a little bit different than these now when
you look at the obsidian air jordan one those are very similar to these but almost a reverse color
pattern so where the navy is at you have a baby blue and where the baby blue is that you have
a navy but on the toe box you have a white toe box compared to matching on the back and on here
you have a navy toe box that matches the back now some people may or may not care but i think those
are very similar but when i think of this shoe i actually think of the women's unc patent leather
jordan 1. that shoe's color blocking is very similar to the obsidian but it has the matching
toe that goes with the back end now when you think about that compared to these this is almost a
flipped version of the women's patent leather one everywhere that you see navy blue on one shoe you
see baby blue on the other and vice versa when it comes to the pattern so if anybody asked me yes
these go great when it comes to the toe series and i think it's even better because they have
amazing materials and this is something that we don't get to see too often but i think one of the
most resembling shoes is going to be the patent leather one simply because of the color blocking
and it's just a flip version let me know what you think about that down below now we can't forget to
mention the university blue air jordan one that came out last year as well with the suede on the
upper i love that shoe i love the materials don't get me wrong that shoe is extremely dope as well
but those are not really that similar when it comes to these that has more of a chicago color
blocking pattern now it comes time to see the results what everybody else thinks about this shoe
if you haven't already make sure you follow me on ig so you can participate in the polls and see all
the results here on the channel basically i asked the people the simple question what do you think
about the shoe is it fire or is it trash 81 of the people chose fire and 19 of the people chose trash
one of the reasons why i could see there's 19 of the people that don't like to shoot they might
think it's a little extra when it comes to the materials or they don't really like the baby blue
or they just don't like the university of north carolina which i completely get that as well i
think personally besides the university of oregon which will always be my favorite school unc is
definitely second up on my list and i think i was definitely heavily influenced by that not only
just because of michael jordan but a lot of other adult players that came out of the university of
north carolina so now let's talk about numbers real quick before we get to the end of this video
as of right now i found a pair on stadium goods which is a consignment shop and they have a pair
listed for eight thousand seven hundred and fifteen dollars i think that they're worth a
little bit less than that but a size 13 is kind of hard to come by i know that there's a lot of
athletes that do wear a size 13 so there's a lot of different factors when it comes to pes
and values and what people are willing to pay and everything like that but as you guys know i did a
trade for this shoe if you haven't seen that trade video go check it out shout out to untied because
