Air Jordan 11 Low 'University Blue' Release Date (2026)

The Air Jordan 11 Low 'University Blue' is set to make its much-anticipated return in Summer 2026, nearly a decade after its last release in 2017 and a full 25 years since its original 2001 debut. This beloved colorway has long been a standout in the Air Jordan lineup, combining UNC nostalgia with a timeless silhouette. True to its roots, this upcoming version is expected to stick closely to the original design, boasting a crisp white mesh upper paired with a glossy Carolina blue patent leather mudguard. Finishing touches include icy translucent outsoles and subtle black branding that give the shoe its polished, timeless look.

Fans and collectors have always gravitated toward UNC-themed Jordans, and the Air Jordan 11 Low 'University Blue' is no exception. Its bright two-tone palette not only nods to Michael Jordan’s storied college days at Chapel Hill but also makes it a go-to summer staple. The low-top cut enhances comfort and breathability, making it perfect for warm weather wear. As it joins the ranks of other Tar Heel-inspired releases, this pair continues to solidify the legacy of one of the most iconic color stories in sneaker history.
