Some have cited the Jordan 1 “UNC Reimagined” as a tacit sequel to the Air Jordan 1 “Lost and Found” despite being distanced from that shoe with a few “Reimagined” Jordan 1s in the interim. What this shoe has to offer in totality makes that connection pretty easy to understand: a cracked leather foundation, faux-aged detailing on the tongue and midsole, an original 1985 colorway, and, to top it all off, a mismatch shoebox that quite literally uses the “other halves” of what the 2022 edition sported.
Nonetheless, this shoe clocks in as the 6th “Reimagined” shoe in the lineage, tracing back to the inaugural “White Cement” Jordan 3. Notably, it’s also the third such colorway to land in just the opening half of 2025 alone, following the Jordan 5 “Black Metallic” and Jordan 1 “Black Toe.” Delays that pushed the latter shoe into this new window explain part of the story, but it’s certainly no coincidence that these reprisals of OG styles are having an outsized moment amid the brand’s 40th anniversary.
