Top 10 Must-Have Tar Heels Basketball Gear for 2025

"Although Edwards has already been eliminated, as a 22-year-old, his performance this season has been quite impressive. I really like the way he plays, especially his dunk that left a lasting impression on me. That's why I decided to get this 'dunk' colorway and wanted to share my thoughts on it today. Personal stats: Height: 5'8'' Weight: 165 lbs Aesthetics: In recent years, there have been a lot of pink shoes released. At first, I wasn't a big fan of pink, but after seeing it more, I started to like it. This pink isn't too flashy; it has a bit of a 'dirty pink' feel, which makes it quite easy to pair with different outfits. I really like this color combination. Rating: 9.5 Upper: The upper uses a combination of rubber and a sock-like design, which Adidas has been favoring in recent years. I found it easy to put on, and the sock-like design fits snugly. The overall fit is more snug than I expected, and the support is also good. I really like the strength of this upper. Rating: 9 Midsole: I think the midsole thickness is just right. It doesn't feel like the center of gravity is too high when you put it on, and the response is quick. It's softer and bouncier than I anticipated, and it should work fine for heavier players. Rating: 9.5 Outsole: Since I mainly play indoors, I can't comment on the durability of this shoe. However, in terms of grip, it performs really well on indoor wooden courts. I think it's quite sufficient. Rating: 9.5 Overall, I would recommend this shoe for forward players looking for a good performance shoe. As for sizing, go with your regular size."lg...More

The Georgia Red Clay dunk colorway looks really cool. The inner bootie design provides excellent support, but it's worth noting that it does press against the top of the foot, which can be uncomfortable for some. I have a normal foot shape and felt some pressure on the instep, but I was willing to overlook it for the sake of the style. The shoe feels great overall—very soft and responsive, and it fits snugly. It performs well in games, with no issues during quick starts. The craftsmanship is decent too. If you like it, you should grab a pair while you can.lg...More

I recently got my hands on a pair of the classic retro AJ4s, and they are exactly as authentic as they come. The style is unbeatable for personal wear. The AJ4 is one of the most iconic models in the Jordan series, and this OG colorway is definitely worth adding to your collection. The price has dropped recently, making it a great deal in terms of both value and looks. If you're a fan of AJ4s, this is a great option that combines both affordability and style. The sizing is pretty standard, so it's easy to find the right fit, and it pairs well with almost any outfit. While it was originally designed as a performance shoe from the Jordan era, it's rare to see anyone using it for actual gameplay these days. However, it still retains some of that original performance quality that made it a go-to on the court back in the day. The AJ4 offers a decent feel compared to other models in the series, and it looks great with a pair of jeans, casual pants, or joggers. The sleek and simple design makes it a versatile choice for modern casual or fashion-forward outfits. Overall, it's a solid pick with great value, and I highly recommend it! 🥰🥰🥰lg...More

The long-awaited return of this Air Jordan 4 "Navy"! As an original OG colorway, it holds a lot of significance. The overall deep blue and slightly grayish white look great on foot, and the craftsmanship is solid. The only downside is the traditional "brick-like" feel of the AJ4, which doesn't match up to the comfort of the earlier AJ4 "Bred." Go with your usual size. It's a good choice for casual outings.lg...More
