The latest Air Jordan XI colorway, sporting University Blue hits, pays homage to his alma mater and the ’82 victory that launched his legacy.

The rest of the shoe is done in a white nylon mesh while a white midsole and icy blue translucent outsole wrap things up.

One reason might be that production of the Zebra colorway is a limited production run, meaning there aren’t enough pairs to stock all of Adidas’s third-party doors as well as their own. What it really means is that these will be harder to get than any other Yeezy Boost 350 V2 thus far, which only makes them more covetable.
