With Michael Jordan having played at the University of North Carolina during his college days, many people probably wonder why every sports program in the school is not sponsored by Jordan Brand.

The North Carolina Football team is currently licensed by Nike, but according to Inside Carolina, they will move to Jordan Brand uniforms for the 2017 season. An announcement from the school is expected in the near future.

Nike and UNC signed a 10-year contract back in 2009 that was valued at $37.7 million and included a premium royalty on the sale of merchandise carrying UNC logos. According to sources, UNC is currently negotiating a new deal with Nike.

Alright. It’s official. Things just got real. We knew the Air Max 1 Atmos was releasing. It was also being rumored that it could possibly be dropping alongside an Air Jordan 3 Atmos. We’ve already seen the Air Max 1 Atmos, but this is the first time Air Jordan 3 Atmos images have been leaked. The rumors appear to be true! Looking to celebrate Air Max Day 2017 with a big bang, here’s a first look at both pairs that make up the Air Jordan 3 x Air Max Atmos Pack.

Focusing our attention on the Air Jordan 3 Atmos, the shoe appears to come with a Black (possibly suede?) upper contrasted by Safari print in the areas we’re used to seeing the Elephant print (heel and toe). Another feature worth mentioning on the shoe is the fact that it appears to come with Nike branding on the heel done in a Clear Jade hue. Last but not least, it looks like they decided to give the shoe an icy translucent outsole.

Of course, the shoes will come with special packaging, but all we can see from these images is that the box is White. As of right now, the shoe is believed to be releasing on March 26th for the retail price of $400. Stay tuned as we’re pretty sure better images of both models will be releasing any day now.
