Jordan Brand ‘College Collection’

Unlike 2/3rds of the Nike Basketball’s biggest names, Jordan Brand‘s big three athletes actually spent some time in the NCAA. That is cause enough for celebration for their respective alma maters, who are being blessed this year with tribute colorways just in time for March Madness. First up is the Jordan Melo M8 which grabs the immediately recognizable palette of Syracuse University, splashing the orange and white across the upper and bringing in midnight navy for a bit of accenting. Dwyane Wade’s Jordan Fly Wade 2 is a similar success, sporting the bold gold of Marquette to hold down the front end of the sneaker and a dark obsidian bringing up the rear. Chris Paul’s entry into the pack in the form of the Jordan CP3.V goes for the gold as well, albeit with a much paler approach to match the Wake Forest colors. Take a look at all three of these college centric colorways from Jordan Brand, which are set to hit stores this week on Thursday, March 8th. Also, stay tuned with Jordans Daily to see the extent to which these sneaks show up for March Madness.
