Released in 2007, the Air Jordan 1 'Alpha' pays homage to the formative years of Michael Jordan and his renowned Jordan Brand. Specifically designed to honor the time when Jordan was a college athlete at the University of North Carolina, this iteration showcases a colorway that represents the university's identity. Notably, the midfoot panel of the shoe showcases a detailed print of Jordan himself in action during his time at UNC. To elevate its stylish appeal, the mid-top silhouette boasts a premium leather construction, accentuated by elegant University Blue nubuck overlays.
