Air Jordan 1 High OG"UNC" managed to pack in as much homage to Mike’s career at the Black Toe blocking allowed. But it’s a colorway we may not even have received, as it appears that the brand was testing a handful of alternate options, including this straight-up Air Jordan 1 High OG “Black UNC” sample as part of the pair’s sampling process.
Revealed by sample collector, the pair shoes an identical tumbled leather build in classic Bred blocking with Powder Blue in place of the original’s red hue. Of course, we got this exact same release with red toe boxes, outsoles, and tongue branding; however, it’s hard to pass up on such a clean colorway as this. Perhaps, one day we will see a release in this scheme.
Familiar colours, applied with a classic colour-blocking scheme, characterise this Air Jordan 1. The shoe brings genuine University Blue leather to the ankle, heel, toe and outsole, with black on the Swoosh and collar and contrasting white on the quarter panel, midsole, tongue and toe box. A black Wings logo with University Blue branding on the tongue helps finish off the model's clean and classic detailing.
