The Jordan 1 Low OG Obsidian UNC (GS) is a grade-school sized take on one of the most respected color stories in the Air Jordan archive, blending two of the most iconic themes in Jordan Brand history. The “Obsidian UNC” palette draws directly from Michael Jordan’s collegiate roots at the University of North Carolina, pairing deep navy obsidian overlays with soft University Blue and a sail midsole for contrast. Even in GS form, the design retains the same emotional weight as the adult pair, making it feel less like a scaled-down version and more like a direct continuation of Jordan heritage storytelling.

Structurally, the shoe stays true to the classic Air Jordan 1 Low OG blueprint, using premium leather construction, a padded collar, and a durable rubber outsole designed for everyday wear. The low-top silhouette keeps things versatile and easy to style, while Nike Air branding on the tongue and the Wings logo on the heel preserve its original identity. The combination of obsidian overlays and University Blue heel panels gives the sneaker a strong visual balance—bold but not loud—making it one of the more wearable and timeless Jordan Low colorways in recent years.

The Jordan 1 Low OG Obsidian UNC (GS) was released on March 29, 2025 with a retail price of $120.
