Air Jordan 1 Mid ‘UNC to Chicago’ FB2212-100 (GS)

This particular version, bearing the code FB2212-100, boasts a classic mid-top silhouette. Its foundation is a pristine white leather, serving as a canvas for the compelling narrative it unfolds. The sneaker’s design elegantly merges two crucial chapters of MJ’s legacy: his formative years at the University of North Carolina (UNC) and his groundbreaking professional tenure with the Chicago Bulls.

The color palette thoughtfully divides the shoe into distinct segments. The front portion is adorned with UNC Blues, a respectful nod to the colors of the university where Jordan honed his skills and made his mark on the basketball world. As one’s gaze moves toward the rear, the vibrant Chicago Reds take center stage, commemorating the dynamic and unforgettable moments he brought to the Windy City.

Delicate accents of Metallic Gold are strategically placed throughout the design. These shimmering elements grace the collars, Swooshes, Wings logo, as well as the unmistakable elephant print overlays. Beyond their aesthetic allure, these gold touches are a poignant tribute to two monumental achievements in MJ’s life – his victory in the 1982 college basketball championship and his unparalleled six NBA championships.

The shoe’s visual narrative finds its culmination in the white midsole, a symbol of the journey’s foundation, and a gradient translucent outsole that symbolizes the way Jordan’s influence continues to radiate through generations, much like the lasting legacy of his unparalleled career.
