According to leak account @zsneakerheadz, Jordan Brand is planning to release yet another Air Jordan 1 featuring some form of the brand’s iconic UNC-inspired color blocking.

Michael Jordan’s alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, has long seen its colors repurposed on a number of Air Jordans — most often an MJ’s first signature sneaker. Over the past few years we’ve seen Virgil Abloh’s take on the iconic colorway, a women’s-exclusive patent leather version, and a Nike SB low version.

It’s early days yet with regards to next year’s Air Jordan 1 High, so stay tuned for updates.
