Whenever a UNC colorway of a Jordan silhouette surfaces you know it's going to be popular, but when MJ gifted the entire men's golf team at his alma mater in April, it was unclear whether the public would ever be able to get its hands on the goods. While a blue and white stand bag and golf glove made up part of the care package, the cleated Air Jordan 9 Golf was the true pick of the bunch. And now it turns out golf sneaker enthusiasts will indeed be able to get a pair if they so desire.
Similar to the AJ1 Low Golf "University Blue" that released in 2022 which opted for a simple two tone blue/white theme, the AJ9 makes use of powder blue on its midsole, heel accents and sock liner. Although the rest of the upper appears uniform from afar, at closer inspection a combination of soft suede and smooth leather wraps the foot for a water tight seal.
Originally intended as gifts for UNC's Division 1 athletes, you better believe the AJ9 G "UNC" is built to perform on the golf course. The white outsole comes outfitted with seven removable Champs spikes, and a leather strip at the heel section adds some stability. For interested parties, the pair will hit Nike on August 12 priced at $230 USD.
