As a fan of the Jordan 1 High OG, this is a great version of a classic. The execution is clean, the color is iconic, and they'll be easy to style. Would I pay resell? No. But for retail ($180), if you love the look and don't mind the classic (read: firm) AJ1 feel, I think they're a solid pick-up for your collection. Here’s my take: the Air Jordan 1 "Reimagined" treatment really benefits this UNC colorway. The materials feel substantial — not cardboard-y. On foot, they're stiff (like all new 1s) but they'll break in nicely. Visually, they pop without being too loud. Compared to the 2015 release, this is the superior version, hands down. Worth the $180 USD? For this specific color, I'd say yes — if it’s a grail for you. Otherwise, it’s a luxury. My "immediate" impression? The materials on this "Reimagined" version are a "game-changer". Touching the "Air Jordan 1 UNC Reimagined", you feel the difference. On foot, the break-in period is "almost" non-existent, which is huge. The Carolina blue is just "chef's kiss". However, the arch support and overall footbed are still very basic—that's the classic AJ1 experience. If you appreciate sneaker history & top-tier leather, this is for you. If you prioritize tech, this isn't it. My final take? I love this iteration. The Air Jordan 1 UNC Reimagined nails the color& and the upgraded materials justify the "Reimagined" tag for me. It's a future classic in its own right. Is it a must-cop? If you love the colorway& and the Jordan 1 High silhouette& absolutely. It executes perfectly on its brief.
