Forty years since originally releasing, the UNC Air Jordan 1 High is returning this Summer.

This time, it will be part of the Reimagined Air Jordan line. Introduced in the Fall of 2022, the Reimagined line has reintroduced some fan-favorite Air Jordan’s. The idea, of course, being to put a twist on classic sneakers and to create a new chapter in the Jordan Brand’s lineage.

Modeled like the Chicago Reimagined that released in 2022, this year’s Reimagined Air Jordan 1 UNC will feature a vintage aesthetic. The sneaker will feature the same cracked leather throughout the sneaker, giving it the aged look mastered by the 2022 Chicago. The 2025 UNC Reimagined will also feature the aged midsole and outsole, as well as the beloved UNC blue details throughout the upper.

This will mark the third time an Air Jordan 1 High appears in a UNC colorway. First releasing in 1985- the sneaker last released in 2015. Ten years later, we are seeing the iconic colorway return in the popular Reimagined form.

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
