Air Jordan 13 ‘UNC’ - Price and Where to Buy

The Air Jordan 13 ‘UNC’ with the school’s emblem near the ankle is arguably the most precious PE in the AJ13’s catalog. There isn’t much that needs to be said about the color combination. The white and university blue is as epic Tar Heels fueled as anything. It also flows excellently with light denim. Unfortunately, getting your hands on a pair of these is tough. Let’s talk sneakers.

Air Jordan 13 ‘UNC’ Key Facts

Where Can You Buy the Air Jordan 13 ‘UNC’?

The Air Jordan 13 ‘UNC’ was made as a player exclusive for the North Carolina Tar Heels and never received a general release, so there’s no retail price or style code to shop by. Pairs surface occasionally on eBay and at auction, where asking prices for UNC PE Jordans regularly run into the thousands of dollars. Authentication matters with PEs, so stick to sellers and platforms that verify them.

Why Does the Air Jordan 13 ‘UNC’ Stand Out?

Nice Kicks spotlighted the PE in November 2010. It pairs a white leather upper with powder blue suede and carries North Carolina logo embroidery on the medial side.

Michael Jordan played at North Carolina from 1981 to 1984 and won the 1982 national championship with the Tar Heels, which is why Carolina Blue runs through so many Jordan PEs. Jordan Brand has since put UNC-inspired general releases on other models, including the Air Jordan 6 ‘UNC’ in 2022 and the Air Jordan 5 ‘UNC’ in 2023.

Should You Buy the Air Jordan 13 ‘UNC’?

If there has ever been a pair of sneakers that need a re-release, it’s the AJ 13 UNC. Aside from the Lucky Shorts, this could be Jordan Brand’s best-ever use of Carolina Blue.
