The Air Jordan 1 "UNC Reimagined" just got its moment in a new unboxing clip. While the colorway dropped earlier this season, the fresh visuals give the pair a second wind.

There’s a vintage tint to the midsole that balances things out. This isn’t a reinvention, but a remix. The UNC look is familiar, but this pair updates the details.

While nothing is confirmed yet, its appearance has sparked speculation that a release could be on the table. Nigel Sylvester isn’t just any collaborator. He’s the first BMX athlete signed to Jordan Brand, and his debut AJ4 was one of the most unique Jordan releases in years. With its weathered red suede and “BIKE AIR” branding, it was a personal tribute to grit and grind. If this black version follows, it could double down on the theme in a way that’s more versatile but no less bold.
