After pandering towards elements representative of the Lunar New Year festivities as well as the Swoosh’s ACG family, Nike’s prolific Air Max 270 React silhouette aims to keep its streak of thematic offerings afloat as it adds another member to its lineup this time channeling a mentality that Tar Heel Nation can vibe with. Although not officially associated with the North Carolina institution, this updated colorway certainly matches the school’s signature colors by permitting its recognizable duo of navy and “University Blue” tones to be the stand-out highlights of the shoe. Each color is split equally amongst its upper as both unite along its primary overlays and eyestays, as well as the bottom portions that house the rear Air unit and outsole plugs for a makeover that fellow students roaring inside the Dean E. Smith Center would greatly appreciate. You can check out a gallery of official images right here, and be on the lookout for these AM 270 Reacts to release on Nike.com and select retailers in the coming weeks for $150 USD.

UPDATE (03/18/2020):
This Nike Air Max 270 React is now available via the Nike webstore.
