Air Jordan 11 Retro Low White University Blue

Some colors are only meant for certain times of the year. And unless you live on campus on Tobacco Road, North Carolina blue is strictly for days that are 75 degrees or hotter. The light blue shade is a spring and summer staple, and as the country starts sweating, Jordan is bringing back a classic Jordan 11 Low inspired by Mike’s alma mater.

After getting an in-hand preview of the retro return back in January, we’ve finally got official images of the Air Jordan 11 Retro Low White University Blue that’s set to drop this summer. Releasing for the first time since 2017, the UNC colorway is a return to one of the 11's most iconic color combos.

Featuring a wave of Tar Heels blue patent leather circling the bottom half of the upper, the rest of the shoe adds crisp white leather and lace loops that stretch down to the patent paneling. More University Blue is added to the Jordan label in the middle of the tongue, and an icy blue outsole completes the classic retro pair.

The Air Jordan 11 Retro Low White University Blue will be released April 18, 2026 through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $195. For all the latest Jordan retro news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
