Michael Jordan left the University of North Carolina in 1984, but the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG returns in the university’s colors again this summer. The latest remix arrives in “Bred Toe” color blocking, unlike the 2021 release, which featured a nubuck upper.

Jordan Brand has released several models in North Carolina colors in recent years, including the Air Jordan 1 Low OG, Air Jordan 5, and Air Jordan 6, to name a few. While it’s not a true University Blue colorway, we’re also expecting a “UNC to Chicago” Air Jordan 1 Low OG to release this July. The “UNC to Chicago” color scheme debuted on the women’s exclusive in early 2020.

This upcoming silhouette has a white leather base with a black collar lining and eyestay accented by Tar Heel blue on the toebox, collar, foxing, and outsole. The tongue is dressed in black and features a black and blue tongue tag. As expected from the Air Jordan 1, the model will come with two sets of laces – a black pair and a UNC blue pair.

The Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “University Blue” is currently slated to release on July 8th via the Nike SNKRS app at 10 a.m. ET and through Jordan Brand retailers for $180.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
