Buy at Nike
Jordan Brand has big plans for the Air Jordan 1 silhouette in 2025, as this year is the 40th birthday of the sneaker that spawned what sneaker culture has become. This year, we’re getting a handful of OG AJ1 colorways, including the Air Jordan 1 High ‘85 Bred, Air Jordan 1 Retro Reimagined Black Toe, and the Air Jordan 1 Retro High UNC Reimagined. For those who may not be a fan of the reimagined look, as this year’s pair is supposed to mimic the aged details from the Lost & Found AJ1, the Air Jordan 1 High Method of Make will be making its best UNC impression.
Though not identical to the colorblocking of the AJ1 High UNC, the pair does sport a similar mixture of white and blue, with this pair opting to include some extra shades of blue not found on the OG. Traditional UNC blue hues are found on the lower eyestay and the large Swoosh on the midfoot, while a powder blue hue comes placed on the perforated toebox, Jordan Wings-laden collar overlay, and the heel overlay. As with other Method of Make Air Jordan 1s, the sneaker features tumbled leather construction and enlarged paneling.

More UNC-esque details are found on the lace set, which takes a dark powder blue finish, while the mudguard features a blue tint hue. Final details on the upper include a corduroy tongue that matches the mudguard and white hits on the midfoot and collar under. Down below, the model comes with a white rubber midsole and a UNC blue rubber outsole.
The Air Jordan 1 High Method of Make UNC W was released on January 22, 2025, and is available now through Nike and select Jordan Brand retailers online and in-store. Unfortunately for the guys, this pair is exclusively launching in women’s sizing for $155.
