March Madness is synonymous with college basketball, but golfers have been anticipating warmer weather and longer days for months. That includes the greatest basketball player of all time - Michael Jordan.

Jordan's love of golf is well-documented. That is why Jordan Brand redesigned his first signature sneaker into a golf shoe many years ago. Even better, they have begun releasing them in colorways inspired by Jordan's alma mater - the UNC Tar Heels.

The Air Jordan 1 Low G golf shoe is already available in one Tar Heels-inspired colorway with a second dropping this week. Below is a detailed look and breakdown of what golfers need to know about the shoes.
