Just one day before the University of North Carolina’s Sweet 16 matchup with Wisconsin, Nike and Jordan unveiled a new Tar Heel-themed Air Jordan XX9 shoe.

There are conflicting reports as to whether the Tar Heels will wear these shoes tomorrow, but here’s to hoping that they do. Of course, Michael Jordan went to North Carolina, but I’m guessing other schools start getting similar shoes with their own mascot theme soon.

Hopefully for North Carolina’s sake, these Jordans help them out on Thursday because they’re going to need every bit of help they can get against the West region’s No. 1 seed. Let us know what you think of the shoes and take a look at some more pictures of Jordan’s latest and greatest creation below.
