Very few college programs in any sport have as much history as the University of North Carolina's Men's Basketball team. We're talking about 25 Elite Eights, 18 Final Fours, nine Championship Game appearances, and five NCAA Championships. Not to mention coaching greats like Frank McGuire who founded the ACC, Dean Smith who has the third-most wins all-time in men's college basketball, and present coach Roy Williams who has already won two titles in less than a decade. Like any other athletic squad there were a few future Hall of Fame players that contributed to the school's success — and as much as we remember Michael Jordan pulling up from 18 to win the national title or Vince Carter's explosive dunks, we remember the kicks they did their deeds in. It started off with some Converse classics and once their most famous alum got UNC in his shoes, well, they got treated with more than a few exclusives. To honor the current No. 1 team in the nation, we break down The Greatest 25 Sneakers in UNC Basketball History.

    Disagree with a couple (9s over the 8s?) but a good list! Might as well do a DUKE list now.

    UNC is the greatest, would like to see Arizona and Duke as well.

    Team Jordan 1, has to be my ALL time favorite pair of Jordans. I would pay anything to get a pair of them again.
