More About  Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “UNC Toe”

This sneaker’s earliest design is as shown below and this looks somewhat similar to the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Obsidian” that came out in 2019 based on the color combination used in the design. The Tar Heel-inspired University Blue accents include the ankle flaps and the heel overlays and white is used on the quarter panels and the midsole. What has changed with this iteration can be summed up as ‘University Blue’ toe boxes and; straight black on the Swooshes, laces, tongues, Wings logos, and forefoot overlays.

 With its timeless color-blocking, high-quality materials, and iconic design, the Air Jordan 1 UNC Toe has all the makings of a shoe that will go down in history as a future classic that encapsulates the spirit of the much-loved Air Jordan 1 silhouette.

The History Behind the Legendary Air Jordan 1

Sneakerheads and sports fans alike have a soft spot in their hearts for the Air Jordan 1, which played a vital role in the development of the shoe culture we know today. The Air Jordan 1 heralded the beginning of a legendary connection between Michael Jordan and Nike since it was the sneaker that Nike used to introduce Jordan to the world of sneaker culture. 

If you’re looking to build a successful, hyped, attention-demanding Air Jordan 1, the formula is simple. First, the shoe’s original materials need to be maintained; that’s leather on leather.  Next is color blocking. Ever since its debut, the AJ1 has mastered the art of color blocking through a consistent simplicity that, despite its minimalism, has perfectly showcased the beauty of its panels.

There have been many different variations of the Air Jordan 1 throughout its history, and each one has a tale that is singular to itself and a cultural significance all its own. Jordan’s collegiate stint at the University of North Carolina, where he refined his skills and laid the road for his future success, is being commemorated by the imminent release of the UNC Toe AJ 1s shoe, which is an addition to this illustrious legacy.

The Look Of Air Jordan 1 UNC TOE

The distinctive color palette of the University Blue AJ 1s is a tribute to the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, where Jordan had started. The shoe has the recognizable “UNC” blue accents on the toe box, ankle collar, wings, heel, and outsole, while the base is made of white leather, and has black overlays. 

This modern iteration keeps the iconic “Black Toe” color blocking, which lends an air of comforting recognizability to the overall design. The sneaker emanates the quality and craftsmanship that fans have come to expect from products in the Air Jordan 1 series because it was crafted with painstaking attention to detail and premium materials.

Inspired by the Jordan 1’s original “UNC” and “Black Toe” colorways, the latter of which was worn regularly by Jordan as a rookie with the Bulls, the new “UNC Toe” features a similar color

Early Look at the Air Jordan 1 High OG “UNC Toe”

The last time Michael Jordan wore the Air Jordan 1 in an NBA game was during his final season with the Chicago Bulls in 1998. But even though the Jordan 1 hasn’t been relevant on the basketball court in a quarter of a century, the classic sneaker is as popular as it was when Jordan wore the shoe for that final time in a Bulls uniform against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden, and even when the shoe was on Jordan’s feet during his rookie season way back in 1985. 

Jordan Brand’s “UNC” theme is certainly nothing new at this point, but it’s still one of the most popular color combinations to hit any retro Air Jordan model, especially the Jordan 1. The shoe’s timely release in the middle of the summer should only help the “UNC Toe’s” hype, as we here at Stadium Goods anticipate the colorway to be one of the biggest sellers of July.

What we’re saying is, that if you’re looking to pick up the Air Jordan 1 High OG “UNC Toe” for your collection, you should do so immediately. Well, maybe after spending a few seconds scrolling through some of the photos of the “UNC Toe” recently taken by the talented Stadium Goods photography team.

As part of the Jordan Brand Summer 2023 collection, the ‘UNC Toe’ joins the lineup as one of the latest trainers to hit the shelves. Devoted fans of the classic Jumpman aesthetic will undoubtedly draw comparisons between the ‘UNC Toe’ and the Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Obsidian’ from 2019, as their color blocking bears striking similarities.

The Enduring Legacy of the Air Jordan 1: Celebrating Iconic Colorways and Timeless Design

To complete the design, the AJ1 is equipped with a Nike Air midsole, which remains unchanged since its debut in the 1980s.  The Air Jordan 1 has been enjoying an incredibly successful year, captivating sneaker enthusiasts with sought-after colorways like the ‘Lucky Green’ and ‘Washed Black.’ Moreover, we’ve been treated to some exceptionally unique releases, such as the ‘Lost & Found’ edition and the collaboration with Spider-Man.

The recent inclusion of Ben Affleck’s Air Jordan 1 only solidifies its enduring popularity. Rest assured, the legacy of this remarkable silhouette is here to stay.
