The Air Jordan 11 Low "University Blue" returns April 18, 2026, marking its first appearance since the 2017 retro and 25 years after its original 2001 debut as the "Columbia Blue."
The colorway features a white mesh upper wrapped in Carolina blue patent leather, paying tribute to Michael Jordan's University of North Carolina lineage through its iconic Tar Heels palette.
Priced at $190, the release arrives through Nike SNKRS and Jordan Brand retailers in wide general release, maintaining the same clean aesthetic that made the original a summer staple. The 25-year gap between first and third release demonstrates Jordan Brand's long-term approach to heritage management, treating classic colorways as recurring cultural touchstones rather than constant retail presence.
