The Air Jordan 1 High OG “UNC Reimagined” Release is set to make waves in the sneaker community, bringing back a timeless classic with a fresh, vintage-inspired twist. Slated for May 10th, 2025, this pair pays homage to Michael Jordan’s college roots at the University of North Carolina while embracing the “Reimagined” series’ approach of giving iconic silhouettes a nostalgic aesthetic. With a Dark Powder Blue/Dark Powder Blue-Sail color scheme, this rendition adds a slightly aged look, capturing the essence of well-loved retros.
For this Air Jordan 1 High OG “UNC Reimagined” Release, Jordan Brand applies a carefully executed pre-aged effect, seen in the slightly yellowed midsole and cracked leather on the upper. The combination of smooth and cracked leather enhances the vintage feel, making this pair a standout in the growing lineup of retro-inspired releases. The powder blue overlays, crisp white underlays, and classic Nike Air branding on the tongue stay true to the OG roots, while the slightly off-white Sail midsole adds a vintage touch.
A major highlight of this drop is that it will be available in Full-Family sizing, meaning sneakerheads of all ages will have a chance to grab a pair. Whether you’re a die-hard Jordan collector or someone looking for a fresh take on a timeless colorway, this iteration is built to be a must-have. The Air Jordan Wings logo, iconic high-top cut, and traditional rubber outsole ensure that this release remains true to the legendary Air Jordan 1 DNA.
With demand for UNC-inspired Jordans always high, expect this drop to be one of the hottest of 2025. Sneakerheads and collectors should mark their calendars and prepare for what could be an instant sell-out.
