The Off-White x Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "University Blue" (UNC) is one of the most culturally significant sneaker collaborations of all time. Released on June 23, 2018, it represents the third and final Jordan 1 colorway designed by Virgil Abloh as part of his groundbreaking "The Ten" collection, paying homage to Michael Jordan’s alma mater, the University of North Carolina.
Description:
- Colorway: White / Dark Powder Blue / Cone
- Style Code: AQ0818-148
- Deconstructed Masterpiece: The silhouette features Virgil Abloh's signature industrial aesthetic, with exposed foam along the tongue and collar, floating overlay panels, and exposed contrast stitching.
- Industrial Branding: The medial side features the iconic Off-White bold Helvetica stamp detailing the Nike collaboration origin. The midsole is printed with the word "AIR" in quotation marks right above the heel unit.
-
Swoosh & Accents: The dark powder blue Swoosh is unstitched at the ends, anchored loosely by neon orange threat anchors. The wings logo is stamped onto floating, detached ankle collar tabs.
- Fit Profile: This sneaker fits true-to-size (TTS). However, because of the raw, deconstructed materials and exposed foam collar, it can feel slightly less restrictive and more spacious than a traditional leather Air Jordan 1 High.
