Known to collectors as the 'Black Carolina' or 'UNC', this colourway first appeared in 2006 and pays tribute to Michael Jordan's alma mater, the University of North Carolina. Its return on 20 June 2026 marked one of the most anticipated Jordan Brand retros of the year, released in full-family sizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverview\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePresented in the official Black\/University Blue-White colourway under style code DD0587-008, the 2026 retro stays remarkably faithful to the original. A rich black nubuck upper anchors the design, offset by University Blue hits across the midsole's signature shark-tooth graphic and tongue detailing. Tinker Hatfield's fighter-jet-inspired design language remains intact throughout: the reflective 3M tongue, lace-lock system, visible Air cushioning in the heel and translucent outsole elements all carry through. The stealthy black base with collegiate blue contrast makes it one of the most wearable Air Jordan 5 colourways ever produced, sliding effortlessly into everyday rotations. Every pair is authenticated by hand at PUSHAS, so you can shop with confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• 20-Year Return: The first retro of this colourway since its 2006 debut, giving a new generation access to a genuine collector's grail.\u003cbr\u003e• UNC Heritage: University Blue accents honour Michael Jordan's college roots at North Carolina, a storyline that runs through Jordan Brand's most coveted releases.\u003cbr\u003e• Premium Black Nubuck: A plush, stealthy upper elevates the aggressive AJ5 silhouette with a refined, versatile finish.\u003cbr\u003e• Signature AJ5 DNA: Reflective tongue, shark-tooth midsole, lace locks and visible Air cushioning preserve Tinker Hatfield's iconic 1990 design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-retail (UA-grade), meaning these items are produced in the same factories and to similar specifications as retail versions, but are not sold through authorised brand channels, allowing us to offer them at significantly lower prices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReturns \u0026amp; Exchanges:\u003c\/strong\u003e We offer a 30-day return and refund policy from the date of delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e We ship worldwide and offer free worldwide shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Images:\u003c\/strong\u003e All images shown are of the actual product and accurately represent what you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInspection Requests:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-shipment inspection images can be provided upon request at checkout, which may extend processing times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sole Dept is an independent retailer and is not affiliated with any brands shown, and all trademarks and copyrights belong to their respective owners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jordan","offers":[{"title":"US M 4 \/ W 5.5","offer_id":54007743512894,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 4.5 \/ W 6","offer_id":54007743545662,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 5 \/ W 6.5","offer_id":54007743578430,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 5.5 \/ W 7","offer_id":54007743611198,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 6 \/ W 7.5","offer_id":54007743643966,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 6.5 \/ W 8","offer_id":54007743676734,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 7 \/ W 8.5","offer_id":54000413671742,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 7.5 \/ W 9","offer_id":54000413704510,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 8 \/ W 9.5","offer_id":54000413737278,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 8.5 \/ W 10","offer_id":54000413770046,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 9 \/ W 10.5","offer_id":54000413802814,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 9.5 \/ W 11","offer_id":54000413835582,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 10 \/ W 11.5","offer_id":54000413868350,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 10.5 \/ W 12","offer_id":54000413901118,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 11 \/ W 12.5","offer_id":54000413933886,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 11.5 \/ W 13","offer_id":54007743709502,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 12 \/ W 13.5","offer_id":54000413966654,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 13 \/ W 14.5","offer_id":54000414032190,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/8254\/3166\/files\/50933_1781751210_06182026025330.webp?v=1785476839","url":"https:\/\/soledept.com\/products\/air-jordan-5-retro-black-university-blue-2026","provider":"Sole Dept.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
