Nike Air Jordan 1 Low NC to Chi

The Nike Air Jordan 1 Low "NC to Chi" pays homage to Michael Jordan’s basketball journey, transitioning from the University of North Carolina to the Chicago Bulls. This iconic sneaker merges two significant phases of Jordan’s career through its striking UNC-inspired blue and Chicago Bulls red and black color blocking. The low-top silhouette adds a contemporary twist to the Jordan 1 lineage, making it a versatile choice for casual and athletic wear.

The "NC to Chi" colorway symbolizes Jordan’s rise from a college basketball phenom to an NBA legend. The tribute captures the essence of his legacy, blending the light blue hues of his UNC days with the bold red and black of his championship years in Chicago. This colorway is a continuation of Jordan Brand’s narrative-driven releases, designed to celebrate key milestones in MJ’s career and resonate with collectors and fans alike.

A lesser-known detail about the "NC to Chi" is the subtle nod to Jordan’s 1982 NCAA championship game-winning shot, which is often regarded as the first major moment in his storied career.
