Whether you recognize him for his exuberant entrances into his team’s locker room caught on video or for achieving the fastest road to 900 wins in Division 1 basketball, Roy Williams has left a mark on the world. To celebrate the coach, whom recently retired, Michael Jordan has fired him an autographed, customized pair of the Air Jordan 1 “University Blue”.

Clad in a color palette appropriate of the University of North Carolina’s Tar Heels, the gifted Air Jordan retro has been personalized for the legendary basketball coach. Lateral heels feature embroidered “NC” (right) and “COACH WILLIAMS” (left) flair, removing any doubt as for whom the pair was made. Jordan’s autograph takes over both shoes’ medial heels, making this gift truly one-of-a-kind.
