The Air Jordan 1 Retro, known for its significant role in shaping the iconic line during the 80s, continues to stand the test of time beyond its basketball origins. Paying homage to Michael Jordan's alma mater, the University of North Carolina, this reissue from September 2003 showcases a striking 'University Blue' patent leather upper, complemented by a distinctive contrasting design on the forefoot and quarter panel. Furthermore, the collar features an elevated Wings logo in chrome and enamel, while the OG aesthetic is further accentuated with the presence of the archival tongue logo, classic Swooshes, and a semi-transparent sole. This release perfectly encapsulates the original Air Jordan 1's timeless appeal.
