Air Jordan 1 Sneaker (UNC/Denim colorway)

The item appears to be a single Air Jordan 1 Mid or High sneaker, specifically designed with a colorway featuring light blue and white paneling. The upper is constructed from what appears to be leather or a synthetic material mimicking leather, with distinct light blue overlays exhibiting a slightly faded or 'washed' look, possibly indicating a 'denim' or similar finish, and pristine white underlays on the toe box, mid-panel, and presumably the collar. A prominent grey Nike 'Swoosh' logo is stitched onto the side, contrasting with the blue and white. The iconic 'Wings' logo, a hallmark of the Air Jordan 1 line, is visible in red on the lateral collar area. The laces are a darker shade of blue, complementing the lighter blue uppers. The midsole is clean white, typical of the Air Jordan 1 silhouette, and the outsole appears to be a translucent or frosty grey rubber, showing some texture. The entire shoe is encased in transparent plastic shrink wrap, suggesting it is either new, protected for storage, or part of a collectible display. This protective wrapping makes it difficult to assess direct surface condition beyond what is visible through the plastic, but it generally indicates a well-preserved state. No visible damage, significant wear, or manufacturing defects are apparent through the wrapping. The craftsmanship appears to be standard for Air Jordan sneakers, with clean stitching and well-defined paneling. Given the design and branding, it is a modern athletic shoe, likely from the 21st century.
