Jovani Hernandez Over the last handful of years, NIKE, Inc. has made a notable push in producing women-exclusive footwear. And while new silhouettes and modified classic designs have been received relatively well by intended consumers, iconic models in colorways specifically for the ladies have arguably had the most success. Case in point?: The Air Jordan 1 “UNC to CHI” from February 2020, which has recently been rumored to return in low-top form.
While simply a rumor at the moment, the upcoming pair would be par the course for Jordan Brand as other Air Jordan propositions have been “shrunken” to provide variety to consumers. Akin to its predecessor, the expected retro indulges in a “Black/Dark Powder Blue/Gym Red” color combination that nods to Michael Jordan’s journey from the University of North Carolina to the Chicago Bulls. The toe box. “NIKE AIR” text on the tongue label, and outsole are expected to indulge in ruby-colored flair while the profile swooshes and heel overlays keep things Tar Heels-appropriate. The Jumpman Family might differentiate the unreleased Air Jordan 1 Low OG in some way from the women’s high-top from 33 months, but fans are sure to be treated to the core of what made the “UNC to CHI” release popular.
Enjoy an early mock-up of the retro ahead, courtesy of Sneaker Files and Instagram user @zSneakerHeadz, and anticipate official Nike.com launch details as Summer 2023 approaches.
