Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG UNC Toe the classic in university blue is back
Sometimes a color says more than a thousand words. The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG UNC Toe pays tribute to Michael Jordan’s college roots in Chapel Hill, but wraps it in a fresh 2023 colorway that immediately catches the eye. Combine white leather, black overlays, and that signature University Blue toebox and you have a release that looks both clean and powerful.
A must for anyone looking for a Jordan 1 in UNC colorway, but wants something just a little different than the standard University Blue.
What makes this release distinctive?
The magic of this sneaker lies in the balance. While many Jordan 1s opt for all-over blue or black, the UNC Toe subtly combines three colors in an OG blocking. The toebox and heel are done in fresh light blue, the mid-panel is white, and the overlays are deep black. Everything is made from premium leather, with a soft finish and sturdy structure.
The result? A colorway that stands out without shouting, perfectly suited for both summer fits and dark streetwear looks.
How does the Jordan 1 UNC Toe fit?
The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG UNC Toe fits true to size. The toebox is classically shaped and fits nicely, while the high-top collar provides support around the ankle. Do you often wear Jordan 1s? Then you know: the first few times it feels a bit tight, but then it molds to your foot. Those with wide feet might consider going half a size up.
Perfect for those who want a comfortable high top that stays comfortable even after prolonged wear.
Is this a good entry point for new Jordan fans?
Absolutely. The UNC Toe has a classic look with a modern twist, making it a great fit in any sneaker rotation. Whether you already have five pairs of Jordan 1s or are buying your first, this colorway feels instantly familiar and fresh. The colors are easy to combine, making it perfect as a first Jordan as well.
A strong choice for those looking for an accessible Jordan 1 with OG vibes and fresh colors.
How to style the UNC Toe?
University Blue is surprisingly versatile. Pair with light gray cargo pants and a white T-shirt for a clean summer fit. Prefer a darker look? Match it with black jeans, a blue accent in your top or cap, and your outfit is spot on. Also cool: a vintage UNC jersey or varsity jacket in light blue for that full college vibe.
UNC Jordan 1s are always popular in summer, but this version also effortlessly shines in winter.
