Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Obsidian – University Blue

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG Obsidian – University Blue, also widely known as ‘Obsidian UNC’, released in August 2019, pays homage to Michael Jordan’s alma mater, the University of North Carolina (UNC), with its classic color blocking. The upper is crafted from premium full-grain leather, featuring a crisp Sail (off-white) base on the mid-panel and perforated toe box, providing a clean and vintage-inspired foundation. This is beautifully contrasted by bold Midnight Navy (Obsidian) leather overlays on the forefoot, eyestays, and the iconic Swoosh, giving the shoe a rich, deep blue hue. Vibrant University Blue leather is prominently featured on the heel and collar, adding a striking pop of color that directly references UNC. The classic black Wings logo is stamped on the lateral collar flap, and Nike Air branding adorns the nylon tongue tag, maintaining the shoe’s OG heritage. The design is completed with an off-white midsole that gives it a slightly aged look, and a Midnight Navy rubber outsole for durable traction.

This iconic sneaker is celebrated for its blend of premium materials, iconic color blocking, and its versatile aesthetic. It is ideal for dedicated Air Jordan collectors, UNC fans, and enthusiasts who appreciate a timeless design with a subtle vintage appeal. Its durable 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.
