UPDATE 3/9/2019: The release has been delayed to Saturday 07/09.
The University of North Carolina colourway has been the subject of numerous iterations and variations, from the highly coveted Off-White version, to the bog standard “Powder Blue” Air Jordan 1 have all been the subject of alternative desire and has become a staple part of ones collection.
Now though, Jordan brand looks to remix things a little bit by adding another layer of “Obsidian” to the palette, resulting in the model you see here. Following the “Black Toe” colour blocking, the model retains a vintage look with liberal use of “Sail” for the upper panels. The heel cup and collar remain in “Powder Blue,” but are held together with “Obisidian” underlay, while the toebox is outlined with the same dark hue.
The sole is finished off in a combination of “Sail” and “Obsidian” to round up the look.
Retailing for RM 649, this particular model seems to be a hot pick-up, so get ready for its launch tomorrow on Nike.com.
