“Another day, another shoe drop.”

When you’re Michael Jordan’s alma mater, you can talk like that. The NCAA Basketball season is over, but the sneaker boxes are still arriving on Tobacco Road, and the UNC Women’s Basketball team is leaving the 2026 season with another new PE.

The Air Jordan 14 Retro UNC PE arrives after another AJ 14 PE touched down at the University of Oklahoma in Sooner red suede. This time around, the Tar Heels pair opts for a full coat of University Blue suede in a colorway that would no doubt sell out immediately if it ever made it to retail.

A darker shade of blue is added to the tongue and sockliner for a bit of color contrast, while more navy blue is featured on the carbon fiber paneling of the midsole. Finally, a UNC logo hit is added in the window on the lateral ankle for a bit of University co-branding.

The Air Jordan 14 Retro UNC PE won’t be released to the public, so unless you’ve got an NIL deal, don’t even think about it. To keep up with all the latest NCAA sneaker PE news, download the Sole Retriever App.
