Nike Air Jordan 1 Low 'UNC' Sneakers

The item consists of a pair of Nike Air Jordan 1 Low 'UNC' sneakers, characterized by their distinct university blue and black colorway. The upper is constructed from a combination of leather, with the main paneling on the toe box, mid-foot, and heel in a vibrant university blue. The overlays around the toe, eyelets, and collar are in black. A prominent black Nike 'Swoosh' logo is visible on the side of each shoe. The right shoe, seen from the side, clearly displays the 'Jumpman' logo in blue on a black tongue, and the 'Wings' logo is debossed in black on the heel tab. The left shoe, shown from a rear-side angle, prominently features the 'Wings' logo debossed in black on the university blue heel. Both shoes have black laces and a white rubber midsole, which shows some discoloration and scuffing consistent with moderate wear, suggesting an aged appearance rather than brand new. The outsole appears to be light-colored, likely off-white or light blue, aligning with the aesthetic of the "UNC" color scheme. The overall condition indicates visible wear on the soles and some creasing on the leather uppers, particularly around the toe box and flex points. There are no obvious tears, major scuffs, or repairs, but the general condition suggests they have been used regularly. The craftsmanship appears consistent with Nike's standard production, with visible stitching and well-formed panels. Given the 'UNC' colorway and the low-top silhouette with the distinct branding, these sneakers are likely from a release within the last 5-10 years, or a retro release of a classic colorway.
