SoleFly, the Miami-based boutique with familial ties to Michael Jordan, is readying its next sneaker collaboration with Jordan Brand.

Leaked images indicate that the shop’s next shoe will be a UNC Tar Heels-inspired take on the Air Jordan 13. The story here isn’t just the colorway, but the material execution. Suede and what appears to be ripstop nylon share the upper, along with a plush, textured interior. We see SoleFly logo hits on the tongue, fabric loops near the forefoot, and elephant-printed insoles. The look is finished off with a mostly gum brown sole.

It’s been almost a year since SoleFly delivered its Air Carnivore-themed Air Jordan 1 Low. A release date for the Jordan 13 hasn’t been announced yet, but we’ll follow up with new details and images once they’re revealed.

UPDATE (11/08): Official product images of the SoleFly x Air Jordan 13 collab have loaded on the backend of Nike’s website. At the time of writing, the release details of the shoe have not yet been announced. We’ll keep you updated when details are revealed.

UPDATE (11/30): SoleFly confirms that it’ll release its Air Jordan 13 collaboration this Friday, Dec. 2 at 10AM EST via solefly.com. According to the boutique, the shoe draws inspiration not from Jordan’s alma mater, but from his journey from the court to the open sea on the Catch23 yacht post-retirement in 1998. “The ripstop upper highlights aquatic performance materials that keep us moving, while the welded side panel showcases a feature you’d see in maritime vessels. The iconic holographic jewel at the heel and outsole resembles the reflections of the sea and like a yacht with its name.” At this time, a release via SNKRS app has not been announced.
