The Air Jordan 1 is one of, if not the most popular sneaker of all time. It debuted in 1985 as the first product from the would-be legendary partnership between Michael Jordan and Nike. Worn with just about anything, it’s simple styling, aesthetic and notoriety make it very special.

They’ve been commonly seen on many athletes, artists, and other celebrities. A lot of patent leather has been used on 1s over the past few years and has been rather popular. The same goes for the technique of color-blocking with more than just black as the secondary color. This model is an ode to MJ’s days as a Tarheel and a Bull. In the back is Carolina blue patent leather. Even the black ankle leather on this shoe is patent leather as well. In the front is red patent leather. Separating the two colors is smooth, white leather. Nike couldn’t decide what color to make the swoosh so it’s made of black patent leather. 

Unlike a lot of 1s that come out, this is a true high top, not a mid-cut. The sneaker is complete with a red outsole and white midsole. The Jordan 1 Retro High Fearless UNC Chicago releases on November 2, 2019, at a retail price of $160.
