Original Story: A revived take on the popular Air Jordan 1 High OG “UNC” is reportedly set to release in Summer 2025.
As per Sneaker Files/zsneakerheadz, the “UNC Reimagined” model will feature the original 1985 colorway with an unspecified “twist.” While the new version is yet to be unveiled, fans can look forward to the OG iteration’s white base and “Dark Powder Blue” overlays that honor Michael Jordan‘s alma mater, the University of North Carolina.
The late Virgil Abloh previously debuted his own take on the revered shoe during the 2018 Met Gala, as did Chrome Hearts a few years later.
Stay tuned for official imagery, and a release date and price tag.
