With that said, we spotted many classic Jordan retros that we have not see in the pros yet. Besides the CDP, when was the last time you seen the Air Jordan 7 &#8220;Hare&#8221; Retro in action? In addition, J.T. Tiller&#8217;s <span class=\"snippet\">Air Jordan 14 &#8220;Chartreuse&#8221; was a pleasant surprise as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Air Jordan PEs<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">Jamal Boykin rebounding in the Air Jordan 2009 PE<em> <\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><em><\/em><em><\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">Jorge Gutierrez in the Air Jordan 2.5 PE<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">Patrick Christopher in the Air Jordan 22 PE<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">Danny Green in the Air Jordan 2.5 PE<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p align=\"center\">Ed Davis? in the Air Jordan 22 PE<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">This year, only two Jordan Brand universities made it to the NCAA Tournament &#8211; California and North Carolina. While most of the UNC players laced up the Air Jordan 2.5 (one of there better players chose not to wear Jordan sneakers at all!), the California players showcased a few Jordan PEs including the Air Jordan 22 and the Air Jordan 2.5. One player even laced up a black\/yellow Air Jordan 2009 PE!
