today we're gonna be taking an early look at the air jordan unc six now you know i'm a huge air
jordan six fan and this shoe has definitely been on my radar since i heard the news it was coming
out and i had to make sure i got an early review for y'all and if you didn't know by now my name is
dj and this is the dna show so first things first if you haven't already make sure you hit that
subscribe button and join the fam we're very close to a million i know bro we're not that close to a
million subscribers but it is what it is we'll get there soon so before we crack open this box i want
to give a shout out to my guy retro 707 girls for hooking me up with these giving you guys the early
review and man i'm excited so starting with the box you have your classic air jordan 6 box with a
major twist you got the unc vibes all over the lid of it with the white jump man right here
going to the size tag it reads air jordan 6 retro university blue white black retail 210 bucks
some may or may not know but the retail price on jordan sneakers is going up in 2022. now cracking
open the lid of the box you have your all-over cement print paper and then you got the shoe oh
you got the shoe okay first impressions of this sneaker yeah yeah these things go crazy now these
are nothing like the unc air jordan 6 that we saw that was gifted to the players if you haven't
already make sure you go check out that review i no longer have that shoe in my collection but i
made sure i got a review before i let go of them that's definitely a very dope shoe and a whole
different switch up when it comes to the materials the stitching and everything like that and i
promise you'll love every detail on that sneaker so because i no longer have that shoe in my
collection we're gonna also use the air jordan 6 carmine in comparison because obviously the color
blocking is very similar and i think there's going to be a lot of debates and comparisons between
these two shoes as we all know michael jordan played at the university of north carolina which
eventually caused him to sponsor his alma mater basketball team with a bunch of jordan brand gear
next thing you know you saw the football team rocking special pes and over the past few years we
have seen general releases hit the market giving the public a chance to get the shoes as well
and like always jordan gave us another curveball letting us get something that's similar to the
pe but not exactly like the pe so for example we saw the unc air jordan 3 come out which was
similar but not exactly the same then we saw the unc air jordan 4 come out which was similar but
not the same and now we have the unc air jordan 6 which is the same model but nowhere near the same
color blocking and don't get me wrong i'm not mad at the gr versions of any of those three sneakers
because they're all pretty dope so now that you have a short briefing on how we got to this point
with this version let's check out the stylus cuts and materials starting with the bottom of the shoe
you have your classic air jordan 6 outsole with the baby blue jumpman in the center and the icy
blue pods on the front and the back end of the sneaker wrapping up to the midsole you have a
black and white pattern right here throughout that and then a white air unit on the side of
the foot now going to the upper this is something that is very similar to the carmine which i will
show you guys some side-by-side shots as we go throughout this video but as you can see right
here from the color blocking on the back end the front end basically all throughout the main areas
of the sneaker is pretty much identical but just a different color as i run my finger across this way
to the toe it definitely gives you a nice premium vibe on the suede and the feel of the white
leather on the back and front end of the sneaker it feels really nice just based off those couple
elements alone i can definitely justify why jordan brown is charging 210 for retail obviously we know
inflation and different things that are going on around the world with supply and demand and
shipping and everything like that but overall i'm gonna give them a golf clap now going to the front
end of the sneaker right here you have a black mesh tongue with white laces a baby blue hit here
on the center with the navy blue jumpman a navy blue lace lock with the white jumpman on there and
then one of the dope elements that i really like about this sneaker they gave it more of a pe vibe
on the tongue with the translucent blue air jordan 6 tongue and then you got the unc print behind
it all throughout the tongue and on the insole typically when we see hits like this on a sneaker
when it comes to the details on the inside of the foot this is something that you would see with a
pe compared to a gr so i'm definitely appreciating that as well looking at the rest of the sockliner
and the back end here on the pull tab you got all black with the baby blue line across the back of
the pull tab and then onto the heel we have seen this patch previously on jordan team shoes about
15 to 20 years ago and then they started to bring that back in when we saw the michigan fives or
the oregon five giving you that quality products inspired by the greatest basketball player ever
this is another small element that jordan brand has started to introduce onto the retro models
giving you more of a pe vibe even though it's a gr or slightly limited release so i know some
people love it some people hate it i completely understand both sides but i do like the way that
they're able to decipher the difference between the two and let you know hey this is kind of more
of a school related sneaker even though they're not able to put the school logo on the shoe
with the actual unc logo or for example the oregon 5 with the duck on the back or the michigan 5 with
the m on the tongue different things like that now like i said earlier this is definitely a different
version when it comes to this colorway compared to the actual unc air jordan 6 pe that we saw a
couple years ago that was a premium white leather and it had the different championship gears on the
back of the shoe and had a whole different vibe to it compared to these and some people might even
like this colorway more and they're happy that they only have to spend 400 or 450 bucks on this
shoe compared to 15 to 20 000 for the white pair so now this brings a couple questions i wanted
to know from the people if they thought the shoe was fire or trash 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
percent of the people chose fire and ten percent of the people chose trash i completely understand
i think this is probably one of the best releases of the year obviously we're only in like the first
month and this comes out in march and everything like that but either way this is going to be one
of the top gr releases of the year in my opinion i don't know if it's because i'm biased and i
love air jordan 6's or whatever but this shoe is definitely extremely dope now i compared these
against the carmine sixes and these results are gonna shock you 46 of the people chose the car
mines and 54 of the people chose the unc's i was thinking it was going to be like 60
40 or like 70 30 or something like that like oh yeah people are gonna like it but there's no way
it can compete with the car mines and then next thing you know it's like out doing the carmine
don't get me wrong these are really really dope but the car mines is a og if it wasn't for that
og and that color blocking style we would never even see this come to life so for me i'm like i
gotta give credit to the og and i still think the og is better than these plus with the red
i mean don't get me wrong the baby blue is popping these things are going crazy right now but i just
can't say that these are better than the karma but that's the best part about it right we can
all love what we want to love we can buy what we want to buy and we can have our own opinions about
every single sneaker and that's completely fine because that's a part of the game it was just a
little bit shocking to me so now let's talk about numbers real quick and i'll get out of here as of
right now this sneaker is hitting for around 450 bucks they come out march 5th retails 210 dollars
so we have a little bit of time i'm gonna show you guys how to cop video in the future as well when
we get closer to the release date because you know stuff gets pushed back and everything like that so
i'll make sure i get a video out for you guys in the future but personally i think it's worth it
but at the same time we shall see what happens once the shoot comes out it may dip maybe around
350 325 375 somewhere around there we shall see but over time depending on how the shoe goes
it could potentially be a situation like the unc air jordan 3. kind of a little bit low affordable
decent price maybe 150 or 200 bucks over retail and then next thing you know the shoe just starts
to go up in price after a year and then you're like bro i should have got it when it was 350. so
i think these can easily fall in that category i think they're going to always hold their value and
they're definitely going to be worth it and yeah based off the quality the styles cuts materials
everything like that oh yeah these things are a must-have and again that might be biased because
i'm an air jordan 6 fan so i hope you guys enjoyed this video and remember at the end of the day the
carmines are better hello knowledge plan pick what you want to pick it don't matter to me
honestly i just know i like the car wise i just gotta make that statement one more time that is
blowing my mind how did those results be what they are honestly this is crazy all right y'all i'm out
