It appears that Michael Jordan’s alma mater, the University of North Carolina, will once again serve as the inspiration for another Air Jordan 1 colorway.

According to trusted leaker account @zSneakerheadz, a new makeup dressed in a Tar Heels-inspired white, University Blue, and black color scheme will release in July. There are no images of the sneaker available at the time of writing, but the account shared a mockup depiction to give fans an idea of what’s hitting retail. The sneaker is expected to wear a OG-styled “Black Toe” color blocking, with University Blue dressing the heel counter, the toe box, and outsole. The shoe is expected to feature “Nike Air” branding on the tongue tag.

This “University Blue” Air Jordan 1 High colorway is currently rumored to release on July 8, 2023 for $180. Keep it locked to Sole Collector for official updates in the coming months.

UPDATE (03/29): Initially rumored to drop on July 8, leaker @Soleretriever on Twitter reports that the forthcoming “University Blue” Air Jordan 1 High will now release on July 22 for $180.
