Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG ‘UNC’

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG ‘UNC’ is a classic retro release that pays homage to Michael Jordan’s collegiate days at the University of North Carolina (UNC), where he famously won the 1982 NCAA National Championship as a freshman. The shoe features a timeless and instantly recognizable color scheme of white and Dark Powder Blue.The upper is crafted from premium leather, with a crisp white leather base on the mid-panel and perforated toe box, providing a clean and durable foundation. This is beautifully contrasted by bold Dark Powder Blue leather overlays on the forefoot, eyestays, heel, and collar, giving the shoe a rich, deep hue. The classic blue Nike Swoosh stands out prominently on the side panels. Maintaining its OG designation, this release features Nike Air branding on the tongue tag, a detail highly coveted by collectors for its authenticity to the 1985 release. The classic Air Jordan ‘Wings’ logo is stamped in white against the blue ankle strap, and a clean heel without the Jumpman logo further aligns with the original design. The shoe is completed with a white midsole that houses Air cushioning for comfort and impact absorption, and a Dark Powder Blue rubber outsole for durable traction.

Released on October 10, 2015, as part of the Jordan Brand’s Holiday 2015 retro pack, this iconic sneaker was a highly anticipated return of a beloved original colorway. It is ideal for dedicated Air Jordan collectors, UNC fans, basketball enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a timeless design with a powerful historical narrative. Its durable leather construction and comfortable cushioning make it suitable for everyday casual wear, easily complementing a wide range of streetwear and fashion-forward outfits. It’s a perfect choice for those who want to own a significant piece of sneaker history.
