Nike NCAA React Element 55 Sneaker Collection - UNC Edition
JUST DROPPED: Nike NCAA React Element 55 Sneaker Collection – UNC Edition

In Time for Your Holiday Shopping

Snag a pair of these UNC Nike React Element 55 shoes while they last, Tar Heels!

This is the first year Nike has released a footwear collection for the holiday season, and a sweet UNC shoe is included. The Tar Heel edition is available in navy blue, in men’s and youth sizes. And it just dropped today!

Ladies Tar Heels, don’t fret. I wear a 9 in women’s shoes and I’ll order myself an 8 in these React Element 55 shoes. I bought a 7.5 in this Nike Tar Heel Jordan Brand Trainer 3 shoe, and it’s a little too narrow to be comfortable.

ABOUT THE SHOE

The Nike React Element 55 Shoe borrows design lines from heritage runners like the Nike Internationalist and then places it all on Nike React technology.

FEATURES – Nike React Element 55

  • A lightweight textile and synthetic upper has a subtle sheen for an elevated look.
  • Nike React technology delivers an extremely smooth ride.
  • Rubber pods on the midsole and outsole provide durable traction.
  • Eyestay foxing follows the wavy design lines of the eyestays of the Nike Internationalist.
  • A TPU heel clip provides a stable feel.
  • A pull tab at the heel for easy on and off.

Tar Heel Wireless Charger

This is a great little Tar Heel Wireless Charging Pad. It’s the same Tar Heel wireless charger that I use myself, except mine has a different UNC decal on top. I use it at my office, and I take it with me when I travel too. It’s much easier placing my phone on this wireless charger than having to plug in a charging cord. Plus, it saves wear and tear on my phone’s charging port. And I don’t have to remove my Speck phone case to use this wireless charger either. But not all phone cases are wireless-charging friendly.

If you would like one too, click the photo below and order yours today.

Jordan UNC Authentic Jersey

If you’re here, you’re likely an avid Tar Heel basketball fan, which stands to reason that you’re a Michael Jordan fan too. It also means you were probably quite disappointed to find out that the recent Tar Heel basketball games in the Bahamas were not televised or streamed. To ease the disappointment, if you’re not already a member at Inside Carolina, I recommend you check them out right now.  You’re find articles, photos and videos from our team’s time in the Bahamas. IC’s Tar Heel hoops coverage is tops in the business. It will help you survive the next few weeks while we await Late Night with Roy on Friday, October 12.

LATE NIGHT WITH ROY 2018

The 2018 version of Late Night with Roy is going to be extra special, as it will include the unveiling of Roy Williams Court. It’s going to be a night for the ages, a night to remember. I hope you will all be able to attend and witness the honoring of one of the greatest coaches in the game in the building named for one of the greatest coaches to have ever lived. Roy Williams Court in the Dean E. Smith Center… Wow, we Tar Heels have certainly been blessed to have had these two fine men in charge of our basketball program, leading the young men who chose to be part of our program, and representing our beloved university across the world.

THE GOAT

As most of you know, Roy Williams played a significant role in recruiting Michael Jordan to UNC. And he served as an assistant coach during the years that Jordan played for the Tar Heels. Many of us certainly hope the GOAT will be able to attend this special ceremony to honor Coach Williams.  With that in mind, if you don’t already have this authentic Michael Jordan Jordan Brand jersey in your collection, this may be a great time to grab one. Wear it to Late Night with Roy! At time of publication of this post, it is on sale for $37.50 OFF regular price at Fanatics. But that particular sale ends soon.

Tar Heel Football Better Because of Them

Tar Heel Ryan Swtizer, Mitch Trubisky

Valuable Tar Heels on and off the field

The Tar Heel football program is losing a number of high-quality young men to either graduation or early entry into the NFL.

I don’t want to alarm you fine folks, but the departing players accounted for 98.6% of our 2016 offensive scoring per Greg Barnes at Inside Carolina. However, that’s not what I’m here to discuss right now.

These young men helped make Carolina relevant in football once again. They committed to a program that was mediocre at best, some would say. They helped change the culture here. They broke record after record. They won at a higher rate than normal for UNC. In fact, during the time these young men were at UNC, we enjoyed the most gridiron success as a fan base that we’ve had since Mack Brown left UNC to become the Head Coach at Texas.

As importantly, they did this with class, good behavior and good sportmanship during one of the most difficult off-field times in the school’s history. They were taunted for and accused of things that had nothing at all to do with them. They kept their heads up. And they continued to do what they came here to do. I’m going to miss them very much.

letters all tar heel fans should read

Today I want to share with any of you who may have missed these letters, the heartfelt words of Ryan Switzer and Mitch Trubisky. Ryan and Mitch are two of the most talented and high-character guys to play college football anywhere. They are two of the group of fine Tar Heel players moving on to the next stages in their young lives.

Here’s a link to Ryan’s letter that appeared on Inside Carolina: http://www.scout.com/…/34…/15183963-letter-from-ryan-switzer

And here’s a link to Mitch’s letter that appeared at The Player’s Tribune: http://www.theplayerstribune.com/mitch-trubisky-university…/

Please join me in thanking these two young men as well as their departing teammates for all that they gave to Carolina Football, to UNC, to the fans of UNC, and to the Chapel Hill community.
