During a team meeting, head coach Larry Fedora revealed to his players that they will be getting Air Jordan Retro 11's. Apparently the athletes are bigger sneakerheads than your average person, because the whole team went crazy.

The new Jumpman Retro 11's are white and baby blue, perfect matching the Tar Heels colors. Although the players can't wear them on the field, they can definitely show off their new swag around campus. The shoes retail for $275.
