Michael Jordan, famous for his competitive spirit, had meticulous routines. One of them was wearing his University of North Carolina (UNC) practice shorts beneath his professional uniform. This tradition started in college, where he led the UNC Tar Heels to an NCAA championship in 1982. These “Lucky” shorts symbolized a connection to his roots. The light blue shorts, representing UNC’s colors, became a talisman for Jordan. They accompanied him throughout his legendary career with the Chicago Bulls. The Air Jordan 3 Retro 'Lucky Shorts' shoes take cues from the UNC shorts Michael Jordan wore underneath his Chicago Bulls uniform.
