Closing out a strong year for Jordan Brand is a brand new pair of Air Jordan 13 in a Black University Blue colorway.

A relatively no-frills design, Nike chose to dress the sneaker in predominantly black via the shoe’s mesh upper, leather toe box and tongue, and parts of its outsole. The titular UNC Blue appears on the suede overlays. When this Black University Blue colorway first surfaced, many were reminded of the Air Jordan 13 “CP3 Away”.

Jordan Brand branding is spotted around the tongue area with Jumpman logo and the “Jordan” text, and the AJ13’s signature emerald green “23” holographic bubble.

The Nike Air Jordan 13 “Black University Blue” will drop for US$200 on 23 December, and will be available in Full Family Sizing.
