I am with you. Wanted them for quite a while but.....just wouldn't know what to do with the color way. I think these will be easy to cop as they are such a team specific color with no real Jordan history.

This isn't unheard of.  I can think of a few stores in Vegas (HoH Summerlin, HoH Miracle Mile, FTL BLVD Mall, FA Galleria) that didn't show up on their respective launch locator at times, but when you give them a call they say they're giving out raffle tickets.

Can't hurt to cover all bases and ask.

That's actually the reason I AM getting them. I don't like powder blu and these being more of a sky blue convinced me to get them. I know the originals were this color, and not the "true" unc blue.

I wouldn't be surprised if back then  UNC would not allow their color to be used by Nike, so they had to use a different shade.

(not sure if this was said already)

if i recall---UNC's colors 10-30 years ago were more in tone with the powder blue used in this variation of the Jordan 1.. Hence why the retro is also not the same tone of blue as the other variations of the 1 that have preceded it.. the patent leathers "kinda" were this blue but nowhere near as vibrant...

over the years the blue has become lighter at least on certain forms of apparel..

and echoing what another poster has said--UNC colorways of any Jordan never sell well.. except if you count when melo wore blk/blue and white/blue 12s and they retroed lol

I guess other people might think they're tacky.  I for one wouldn't mind the Red and Black flight suit from the OG Jumpman photo shoot.
