Happy to see his alma mater back in the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16, Michael Jordan and the Jordan Brand just issued an exclusive Air Jordan XX9 to members of the North Carolina basketball team.

Making use of the performance woven upper, the shoe bears a large rendition of the team's Rameses logo, UNC's official emblem from 1983 to 1998. The rest of the upper is styled in University Blue, with a navy blue midsole and white outsole capping off the look below.

As of now, this XX9 is not expected to hit retail. See it on the court tomorrow, when the Heels square off against Wisconsin.

UPDATE 3/26: An official look at the UNC XX9 courtesy of Jordan Brand. The shoes will debut on court tonight, when the Tar Heels go head-to-head with Wisconsin in the Sweet 16.
