Air Jordan 1 RETRO Low OG 'obsidian Unc'

Two blues on one shoe is harder than it sounds. Obsidian is a deep, almost black navy and the UNC reference brings in the pale Carolina blue tied to Jordan's own university, one of the college programmes the brand outfits alongside Georgetown, Cincinnati and Michigan. Setting them against each other on a Retro Low OG gives the pattern a depth that single colour make ups never achieve, because the eye reads the panel blocking as shadow and light rather than as two separate colours. On the Low, with the ankle gone, that contrast is the entire design. It is the most graphic thing this cut can do without introducing red.
