Vintage Gear: Converse Pro Leather “UNC”

One of the most famous Michael Jordan sneakers isn’t a Nike shoe at all. MJ played all three seasons at the University of North Carolina in Converse, making history in the Converse Pro Leather with the title-winning shot in 1982. This pair throws right back to that era with the white and university blue colorway as worn by MJ and his fellow Tar Heels. Jordan’s otherworldly career playing in his own signature line has pushed the Pro Leather to the background. But since Nike purchased Converse in 2003, there’s been renewed interest from fans to have the Pro Leather brought back in wider availability than 2012’s commemorative pack. Find this vintage pair now via eBay.
