Honoring Michael Jordan's time as a college student at the University of North Carolina, the Air Jordan 1 High University Blue was created. featuring a mostly smooth leather and suede upper with white and university blue color blocking. University Blue covers the toe box, side panels, and heel, while black is used for the Swoosh, laces, and collar. The Wings emblem on the collar is embossed in black, while the Jumpman logo on the tongue tag is displayed in University Blue.
The foam midsole contrasts sharply with the blue upper because it is white in color. The shoe's color scheme is completed with an outsole composed of light blue rubber.
