The Air Jordan 11 Retro Low University Blue (FV5104-100) is one of those releases that doesn't need to say anything loud to command respect. First dropped in 2001 under the "Columbia Blue" name, last seen in 2017, and now returning in Spring 2026 for its third lifetime — this UNC-themed AJ11 Low earns its place in every rotation it enters. The white ballistic mesh upper sets a clean, breathable foundation that's perfect for warmer weather, while the glossy Carolina blue patent leather mudguard is what gives the silhouette its identity. That two-tone black and University Blue carbon fiber shank adds structural detail that rewards closer inspection. Icy translucent outsole at the bottom, Nike Air insole branding as a nod to the model's 1996 original — the 2026 retro respects the details that matter. Jordan Brand kept this one faithful to the source material, and that restraint is exactly right for a colorway this classic. Releasing April 18, 2026 in full family sizing via SNKRS and select retailers at $195, the FV5104-100 is the kind of essential summer release that sells itself.
