A tribute to Chicago designed by one of its own, Don C, the Jordan Legacy 312 was recently reintegrated back into the sneakersphere. And for its latest run of colorways, the model is celebrating not the Windy City but Michael Jordan himself, sporting “23” branding and the colors worn from his college days to his tenure with the Bulls.

Preceded by a Bulls-friendly colorway, this newly-revealed addition to the Jordan Legacy 312 Low‘s catalog ostensibly draws inspiration from MJ’s days in Chapel Hill.

Paying homage to the state of North Carolina, MJ’s “23” jersey number is proudly displayed right atop the signature profile Swooshes on both the medial and lateral panels in University Blue. Additional hits of the UNC signature are also applied along the Swoosh, lining, branding, and the blue-to-yellow gradient along the midsole.

The mudguards are in Cement Grey with a faux elephant print finish. The rest of the shoe, in contrast, is made up of neutral tones, with white and off-white shades painted onto the overlays and base, respectively.

What is the story behind Jordan Legacy 312?

The 312 is a tribute to Chicago that’s equally inspired by MJ and today’s multi-faceted youth. Its name references the 312 area code of the city, as well as the shoe’s juxtaposition of the Air Jordan 1 and 3. “I wanted the Jordan Legacy 312 to have the sole of the Jordan 3, because to me, that shoe is the foundation of the brand”, Don explains. “The 1s and the 2s were Nikes first. The 3s were Jordans. That’s when the brand became the brand. I’ve always felt that the foundation of the brand is the 3, but it was built on the 1 first”.
