Athletes at the University of North Carolina, alma mater of Michael Jordan, are used to getting gifted sneakers on the regular. But, as the videos below show, even the most jaded of student athletes still get hyped over the prospect of free footwear.
In the clips, which surfaced on Twitter on Wednesday, players on the football team learn about getting complimentary pairs of the Air Jordan 11 Low in blue and white and proceed to lose it.

This isn't an exclusive shoe by any means—plenty of stores still have them sitting on their shelves after last weekend's release—but free Jordans are free Jordans. This sneaker's color palette is obviously relevant to the school in question, it being one of many blue-tinted retros tied to UNC.
