Air Jordan 17 Low "UNC" | @gc911

Earlier in this year, Jordan Brand reintroduced the Air Jordan 17 Low “Lightning” for the first time since its initial launch in 2003.

Similarly, another genuine color scheme is making a comeback — the “UNC” influenced by Michael Jordan’s Tar Heels heritage. These sneakers are scheduled for release on August 28th, 2024, priced at $300, and will be available at selected Jordan retailers.

During the brief Washington Wizards phase of Michael Jordan’s career, the Air Jordan 17 made its debut to the general public. The 17 Low fuses MJ’s interests outside of basketball, incorporating elements of golf (reflected in the traction resembling a golf course) and jazz music.

The sturdy briefcase draws inspiration from the cases used by jazz musicians for their brass instruments. Additionally, there are features reflecting Jordan’s evolution as a businessman and a more refined visual appeal.

Although the 2003 Air Jordan 17 Low did not come with a briefcase, Jordan Brand has opted to include this high-end packaging for the 2024 release to justify the $300 price tag. Despite the premium cost, the Lightning 17s are currently commanding twice the original price on the resale market, with similar expectations for the UNC 17 Lows.

Displayed below is the most detailed view yet of the Air Jordan 17 Low “UNC” shared by @gc911; once again, the release date is on August 28th and will be exclusively stocked at chosen Jordan retailers.

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
