Kiki Rice continues to blaze her own trails as she receives the first ever PE for a Jordan Brand-affiliated NIL athlete. Nodding to her hometown of Washington D.C., Jordan Brand dresses the jordan 1 retro high unc patent blue in an elegant colorway that reminds us of the upcoming Cherry Blossom season that arrives every Spring.
Rice, who was the first hooper to debut the DJ Khaled with the Solefly x Air Jordan 1, will be sporting this Player Exclusive during UCLA’s game against Stanford. Featuring a light tan base, this heartfelt design features touches of elegant pink and bright blue, with the Real flowers appearing on the tip of the tongue. A lush bed of blossoms appear on the insoles as well as through the translucent icy outsole bottoms. Furthermore, Kiki’s name is embroidered on the heel to remind us exactly who these PE’s belong to.
Again, these were made specifically for Kiki, but Jordan Brand confirms that each UCLA women’s basketball player and members of the staff will eventually receive pairs as well. These will not hit retail at any capacity.
In other Jumpman updates for February, here’s the latest on the Air Jordan 4 “Bred Reimagined”.
