The Air Jordan 1 Low OG "Obsidian UNC": A Legendary Colorway, Reloaded 🔥

Yo, sneaker fam — 2025 is shaping up to be a wild ride, especially for Jordan heads. With the 40th anniversary of the Air Jordan 1 on the horizon, Jordan Brand is pulling out all the stops. From OG classics like the '85 "Bred" to a fresh Off-White™ collab, the lineup is stacked.

But one release that’s got people buzzing? The Air Jordan 1 Low OG "Obsidian UNC," hitting shelves on March 22, 2025.

From High to Low — The Return of an Icon

If you were around in 2019, you already know the Air Jordan 1 High OG "Obsidian" had sneaker culture in a chokehold. It was an instant hit, with resale prices skyrocketing like crazy. Fast forward to now, and Jordan Brand is flipping the script by bringing that beloved obsidian 1s colorway to the low-top game.

This AJ1 Low stays true to its roots, rocking the same Obsidian, University Blue, and Sail color scheme that pays homage to MJ’s days at the University of North Carolina. The upper is full leather, with that deep Obsidian blue wrapping the overlays, lace collar, and Swoosh, while University Blue blesses the heel and heel tab. The Sail midsole and dark blue outsole complete the look — it’s clean, timeless, and straight fire 🔥.
