The Air Jordan 5 Retro SE 'UNC' features a soft, pastel blue hue, a nod to Michael Jordan's collegiate roots at the University of North Carolina. The upper is made from University Blue nubuck and is complemented by matching TPU eyelets, breathable side-panel mesh, and a woven jock tag on the heel. A silver, reflective Jumpman logo adorns the tongue, enhancing visibility in low light. The shoe's black polyurethane midsole offers lightweight cushioning, and is highlighted by speckled shark-tooth designs and a visible Air-sole unit in the heel for extra comfort. For superior traction, the shoe is finished with a see-through herringbone-patterned outsole.
