Air Jordan 6 Retro 'UNC Home' — Tar Heel Blue on the Championship Silhouette
The Air Jordan 6 Retro 'UNC Home' (CT8529-410) is a tribute to one of the most storied programs in college basketball history — the University of North Carolina Tar Heels, the team that shaped Michael Jordan before the NBA ever knew his name. Dressed in the beloved home colors of Chapel Hill, this is the AJ6 as a homecoming — a return to where it all began.
Design & Colorway
The 'UNC Home' dresses the Air Jordan 6 in a crisp white/university blue palette that mirrors the Tar Heels' iconic home uniform. The white leather upper is clean and pristine, while university blue accents on the midsole, pull tab, lace lock, and outsole bring the Chapel Hill color scheme to life on one of Jordan Brand's most celebrated silhouettes. The translucent blue outsole adds a finishing touch that ties the colorway together from the ground up, making this one of the most cohesive UNC tributes Jordan Brand has ever produced.

Back to Chapel Hill
Before the six championships, before the Gold Medals, before the global icon — there was a young Michael Jordan wearing Carolina Blue in Chapel Hill, learning the game that would define a generation. The 'UNC Home' AJ6 is a tribute to those formative years, to the coach who shaped him (Dean Smith), and to the university that gave basketball one of its greatest gifts. It's a shoe with roots as deep as the legend it honors.
For the Tar Heel in Every Jordan Fan
Even if you didn't attend UNC, the 'UNC Home' resonates with anyone who understands Michael Jordan's origin story. University blue is one of the most beloved colors in the Jordan Brand catalog precisely because of its connection to MJ's college years, and the AJ6 is the perfect canvas for that tribute.
