Jordan Brand Hooked Up UCLA Football with Jordan 1 and 4 PE Cleats

The college football season is well underway, but Jordan Brand is still popping out with player exclusives for its sponsored schools, lacing Saturdays with must-see heat to match the flood of NFL heat hitting the grass every Sunday. Continuing this season’s focus on Jordan 1s and Jordan 4s, the UCLA Bruins are the latest team to show off custom colorways for the squad.

Posted to Instagram by UCLA Football, the PE 1s and 4s take classic Jordan tooling on the upper and drop them on top of Vapor Edge and Alpha Menace cleats. On the Jordan 1, a full upper of black and grey elephant print is interrupted by white laces and a UCLA blue Swoosh and spikes. The Jordan 4 is more subtle, with black suede covering the entire upper and UCLA blue on the netting, lace wings, and tongue logo, with two-tone spikes in blue and white.

Jordan Brand has spent years turning its retro catalog into football cleats, spending time with specific silhouettes season after season. This year, college teams on the Jordan roster have been popping out in PE 1s and 4s all season, with UNC, Florida, and Oklahoma all lacing up new colorways of the two classic Jordan models.

Unless you’re lining up with the Bruins in LA every Saturday, there’s no shot you get these in your memorabilia collection, but for all the youth QBs in your life, there are still plenty of Jordan cleats you can cop.
