The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “University Blue” blends heritage with polish—its design rooted in Michael Jordan’s UNC legacy. Anchored by a white tumbled leather base, the sneaker’s upper is elevated with light blue nubuck overlays across the toe, heel, and ankle, contrasted by a crisp black Swoosh and collar. With classic OG elements like a Nike Air tongue tag, embossed Wings logo, clean white midsole, and matching blue outsole, it fuses timeless appeal with polished detailing. Released in spring 2021 (555088-134), this colorway takes inspiration from both iconic “Bred Toe” blocking and UNC’s signature blue theme. Its balanced yet impactful palette has earned it acclaim as a modern classic—celebrated for its clean lines, premium materials, and nostalgic storytelling. Whether styled casually or displayed in a collection, the University Blue AJ1 offers style, heritage, and standout color in equal measure.
