Another "UNC" inspired colorway is coming to the Air Jordan 1 High OG.

Michael Jordan's sneaker legacy is one that will stand the test of time, and it all started with the Air Jordan 1 High OG. This is a shoe that he was able to debut in 1984 before it made its way to the market in 1985. Fans have loved this shoe for decades, and it continues to better.

Overall, the Air Jordan 1 is a shoe that can be worn with anything. It is simply fantastic, and Jumpman is well aware of that fact. They are continuously pumping out new colorways, although they never seem to get stale. It is a true testament to just how great the silhouette is.
