MJ has a story to tell. Paying homage to one of the greatest influences in MJ's life—the late college basketball coach Dean Smith—this Jordan Series .02 style represents an essential part of the GOAT's journey. "Dear Dean", is embroidered in University Blue against a white suede upper, matching the full University Blue suede toe box. MJ has messages about his championship-winning coach placed throughout the sneaker, with "Swing For The Fences" printed on the insole and "There Was Never Any Doubt" and "It Went Down In The Backyard" embossed on the gum outsole. Honour Coach Smith and his part in MJ's legacy with this memorable design.
