College hoops season is in full swing, and blue blood schools continue to make an impact on our front page. After a “Howard Bisons” look surfaced just days ago, a two-pack of leaked images reveals the Air Jordan 4 “First Class” PE for the University of Florida.
Check the pocked / ostrich-esque leather on the mudguard and tongue, material choices elevating the onal treatment on most of the shoe’s real estate. While the iconic blue and orange Florida colorway doesn’t make an appearance, swapping to gilded accenting drives home an emphasis on the shoe’s vaunted sports history. Like pairs in the “First Class” have tended towards, the team’s involvement here is kept to a tasteful minimum, the only allusion visible in these shots the golden Gator hangtag.
Further, it would appear that the Jordan 4 “First Class” for the Florida Gators is the work of former Jordan Brand designer Kelsey Amy, seemingly confirming her involvement earlier this month in these and the similarly-composed PEs that have hit the newswire in recent weeks.
Don’t expect the Air Jordan 4 Gators PE to hit the shelves anytime soon, exclusive to UofF athletes. However, dive deep with the in-hand image included below.
