BLACK UNC/BLACK CAROLINA

THE UNC CLASSIC RETURNS AFTER 20 YEARS

AIR JORDAN 5 “BLACK UNC/BLACK CAROLINA”

Most UNC-inspired sneakers are built around white and University Blue. The Air Jordan 5 “Black Carolina” did the opposite. First released in 2006, the sneaker placed sharp Carolina Blue accents against an almost entirely black silhouette. Then, it disappeared for two decades. Now, the kick is finally back, giving sneakerheads another chance to own one of the most distinctive UNC-inspired Jordans of the 2000s.

Colorway: Black/University Blue-White
Style Code: DD0587-008
Release Date: June 20, 2026

University Blue – also known as Carolina Blue – pays tribute to the University of North Carolina, where Michael Jordan played before beginning his NBA career. Unlike traditional UNC colorways built around a white base, the Air Jordan 5 “Black Carolina” places the historic blue against a matte black nubuck upper. University Blue stitching, lining and Jumpman details stand out without overpowering the design. The result balances two identities: a meaningful connection to MJ’s college legacy and a dark, stealthy look that feels more refined than the usual UNC release.

MADE FOR TODAY’S ROTATION

Its history makes it collectible, but its versatility makes it easy to wear. The black upper pairs naturally with baggy denim, graphic tees, and relaxed streetwear. Choose a black or light blue top to complement the sneaker’s University Blue accents without overdoing the look. The Air Jordan 5 “Black Carolina” spent 20 years away.

Don’t let it disappear again.
