J.J. McCarthy Wears Retro Air Jordan Cleats in Michigan Win
Despite all of the controversy and noise surrounding their program, the Michigan Wolverines have proven they are one of the top teams in college football. Saturday's action kicked off with another epic installment of the Michigan-Ohio State rivalry.
While it was a typical smashmouth Big-Ten game, Wolverines quarterback J.J. McCarthy provided a crucial 148 passing yards on 16-20 attempts, plus a touchdown. Best of all, McCarthy made his mark on the rivalry in a pair of retro Air Jordan cleats.
Michigan is one of ten NCAA programs sponsored by Jordan Brand, and their student-athletes always receive the best Jumpman gear available. Below is what athletes and fans must know about the cleats McCarthy wore on Saturday.

Throughout the season, McCarthy has worn a cleated version of the Air Jordan 12 Low in a navy blue and maize colorway. However, the top-rated quarterback has periodically taped up both cleats, including during today's game in Ann Arbor.
There is no chance that McCarthy's Air Jordans will be released to the public. But the silver lining is that fans can stock up on Wolverines' Jordan Brand footwear and apparel on the Nike website.
Michigan has one more test when they face the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Big-Ten Championship game, and they can earn their rightful place in the College Football Playoff. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all your footwear news from the sports world.
