Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "UNC Toe": Review & On-Feet

Following a limited shock drop on the Nike SNKRS app earlier this month, the worldwide release for the "UNC Toe" Air Jordan 1 is set for this Saturday, July 22nd! Featuring a mix of white, black and university blue coloured leather, these adopt the same colour blocking style as the "Bred Toe" colourway. Check out my detailed review and breakdown to learn more and to see how they look on feet!

Love it! I'm such a HUGE UNC fan and I can't wait to add these (and the AJ2 Low) to my collection. They're beautiful!

[@michaelnguyen4075]

loved your video! as always great detail and review on this pair! got myself a pair and cannot wait to rock em

[@Jay-zb7hj]

Love the review, Sean! Again, you never fail to disappoint! I really do agree with your thoughts at the end of the video. On top of Jordan 1 fatigue this past year, the fact that they went with another university blue is a little underwhelming. That being said, I can’t deny that if this colorway had came out just 2 to 3 years ago, They would be selling off the charts. Shattered backboard colorblocking is my favorite color blocking so I still had to cop this one. And as someone who missed out on the obsidians, these are my consolation obsidians 😅. This is a colorway that I think will still age pretty well. But can’t deny I’m not as hyped for these, as I might have been several years ago due to all the factors, I stated.

[@artbkkful]

I like this actual blue color which is softer than a pre-launch photo. Thank you for a review.

[@SuperApex93]

Definitely going after these

[@Willmelendz]

I’m definitely adding it to the collection

These are a definite double 🆙 for me. I will be rocking a pair with white laces 👌🏾 Can’t go wrong with white or sail laces in a Jordan 1.👍🏾 Good video ✌🏾

i have the obsidians so i'm so torn on whether or not to get these, so fire 🔥

[@gauravscorpio]

Bang On Sean, they are solid and beautiful, I waited to have them in hand before commenting my personal thought. They look GREAT in real, and as you mentioned, they are my first UNC colorway Jordan 1s so I am so happy to grab them. Cheers to you on another great review.

[@SeanGo]

thx for watching!

[@asianck]

I missed out on the Obsidians 4 years ago so these are a perfect replacement for me 👌

i love the color blocking on the bred toes and i am a sucker for baby blue so it’s a necessary cop for me : )

[@jayel1438]

Sean..i see you be low key matching your fit with the sneakers you review 👍🏾

[@SeanGo]

Sometimes i try 😆

[@tochung4596]

Agreed on the colorway…I have a ton of AJ1 UNC but still excited since I hit retail. Lol

[@maryvilfranc3144]

Great review 👍🏾

[@SeanGo]

Thank you!! 😊

[@abdoulayefall2312]

Best of the best shoes

[@aristosachaion_]

These are a beautiful shoe indeed, like every other 1 in this colour blocking, but Idk if I can justify purchasing it when I already have another Jordan 1 with this same colour blocking.

[@intrnsition24]

I see the Lapiz Azul in the back chillin. Would definitely rock those over these, better material amd comfort.

[@SeanGo]

no lies told lol

[@engkongs4319]

Love it got 2 prs already I’m set 👍

[@00001sarthak]

I want to see a top 10 quality shoes list as nothing wows 😂

[@marka.shuffler9965]

I was hyped to get these .. From a Footlocker raffle of all things! When I unboxed them I too thought that the blue would be brighter/shinier. Small things though! I unDS’ed them last night and they are beauty on foot …

[@SeanGo]

they’re definitely head turners ❕

[@ancientphilosopher]

So I have the off white unc 1, which are my go-to unc color shoe. Every time I wanted to buy these, I looked at my off whites and said it wasn’t worth it. BUT, I’m on vacation, I miss my shoes and I only brought my lost and founds. So I just copped these 😅

[@wonkiestwook2103]

great videography!

[@SeanGo]

Thank you!

[@lpsoldier301]

This is not a must cop but nice to add to the collection if you hit.

[@FreshYoungDude]

Personally I’m passing on these, not really a blue shoe guy myself. I do have the low mystic navy’s for work and love them.

[@hunterrrwilliams]

really hope i cqn get a W on snkrs, thanks for the early review 👍

[@SeanGo]

Good luck!

[@hunterrrwilliams]

@@SeanGo Thanks my man, love the reviews, i always come to your videos when i buy a shoe and have it coming in😂

These color such as light blues are used often for infant shoes

these are nice! got an L on the shock drop. hopefully i get a pair during official release.

Greetings from Mexico dude 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

🤙 🇲🇽

[@budgetsneakerh3ad]

You forgot to say that the insole and midsole of the Jordan 1 feel like you are "walking outside, barefoot on the sidewalk after one of the worst days of your life." Love your reviews. Especially the New Balance ones. I'm a recent convert.

[@SeanGo]

LOLOL

[@randzcuacoyes1214]

Next nike dunk chicago split please

[@nealsmall9316]

I want these so bad 😫

[@PajaritoBoomBoom]

Passed on obsidian (regret not trying for them), university blue was a L, hopefully third time the charm with these tomorrow morning 🤞🏽

[@jamesmacpheators7222]

I have the Obsidian 1's, University Blue 1's(the suede/nubuck ones) and the Royal toes, so I'm really unsure if I NEED this pair or not. The quality looks super nice though!

[@SeanGo]

exactly what i meant haha… decisions decisions… 😕

[@Leveleup543]

First Jordans I purchased in about 15 years. Hit on the shock drop. It is a great shoe but I got to say the bred 1s I purchased at Nike town many years ago had much better quality

[@Beloadi420]

Hope I can get em. Didn’t get the shock drop

[@max-mkl]

I do feel the same about these. I do own the 2019 Obsidian Jordan1 so im a bit torn if I should pick up a pair or not. Especially with the retail of a 190€ (quick is more than ridiculous for a GR 1 ). But my obsidians a pretty beat so maybe … great video Sean

[@b00nyman]

Jordan Brand are some greedy a-holes for increasing the price again. I bet they will go up to 200€ till the end of this year... they don't need to wonder why all their releases brick out

[@lpsoldier301]

I would rather take used Obsidians over these. The shape looks more boxy on the UNC toes

[@Orich123]

having sold the obsidian blue back then due to financial problems, it is a must for me to cop this. Damn sean them on feet joints look so goooooood

[@SeanGo]

good luck 🤞

[@__Edward__]

If by any chance you don't own a pair of UNC themed Jordan 1s then this is probably a good pick for you. Hopefully easy to cop on release day and almost no resell. Will definitely try to cop these when they drop!

[@AkagamiShanks28]

already going for pretty much retail on stockx,so i wont even worry if i dont hit for retail

[@Oying76]

Which one looks better the obsidian or unc toe? And J1 High Unc Toe or J1 Low Dark Blue Powder?

[@waynedarren]

Easy cop. Just like the lucky greens

[@renztrojillo2190]

Do they fit like the lost and founds?

[@LE_NOMAD90]

They look incredible on feet. I agree they should never change and keep the color themed boxes.

[@NerdLifts]

Just won a raffle! I can rest, my pair is secured. Do I double up?

[@jamielee4911]

Sean you're not wrong about that blue...I grew up in NC and I'm a HUGE UNC fan...."Carolina" blue is more of a baby blue or lighter blue than what's on the shoe..Still a DOPE 1 but the color is off....

[@SeanGo]

ok glad i’m not seeing things LOL

[@IkOy15]

Great review. If you don't want them, I'll take them off your hands haha

[@LeBeautiful]

The UNC Colors going 3/3 EASY!

[@alldubs55]

I know jordan/Nike has a bad rep in terms of QC, but I haven’t had too many issues esp since late last year. Most of my pairs have been mostly flawless w just minor glue stains around the mid sole and some loose stitching at most. Not different from my NBs. Surprisingly my worst QC pair in recent memory has been a MiUSA 990v3, which had crooked back panels.

[@SeanGo]

that sucks to hear

[@shockproof111]

Notice me senpai! We wouldn't mind seeing your whole collection! 😄

[@SeanGo]

Maybe one day! lol too many pairs stashed all over the city 😂

[@mattpackk9103]

Idk why but these feel longer than other Jordan 1’s I’ve had and it kinda bothers me lol

[@ennuy3]

I went TTS and am debating if i should half size up. The ankle padding seems to push my toes forward to the end? Does this get better with wear or should i just half size up

[@SeanGo]

The leather should give / break in a bit with wear

[@3stanproduction]

I wish the outsole was black

[@ruchay111]

Hey I am UK 11 in Air Max 90 & Panda Highs but I had bought a AM97 in UK 12 which fits me perfectly. So now I am confused what size I should get for the AJ1 High UNC toe as these will be my first pair of AJ1 pls guide me shall I go for tts UK -11 or 11.5 or 12 UK as I have a wide feet & prefer roomy fit.

[@waynedarren]

Tts

[@thestarseeker8196]

Swoosh shape is off, and the blue shouldn’t be darker, really. I hope you didn’t end up scammed or anything. It is a really nice release, I’ll probably pick it up later this year assuming the resale is consistent and doesn’t go crazy.

[@SeanGo]

Nah got it from a local boutique lol

[@leteizjordan298]

I understand people say its a must cop but im not feeling this baby blue color blocking

[@jeffw1390]

I prefer the Taxi 1 over this. Even though blue is my favorite color. I just think this one is good, but it doesn't pop.

[@bstarkey1874]

Try some white laces👌🏾

[@jeffw1390]

@@bstarkey1874 yes，white laces would make the shoe more balanced

[@Limefighter99]

Is it just me or do they have the lucky green type oversized swoosh and shape?

[@SeanGo]

All recent AJ1 post-Lost&Found do I believe

[@pattonPwr]

they ruined the AJ1 OG retro high silhouette after the Lost & Founds. Shape looks weird, the are shorter, bigger boxy toe box and larger swoosh. Don't like them at all. "Old" pairs looked better on feet IMO.. and of course the quality was also better

[@godsandeshyt5451]

Price Plz....😊

[@jasonjoyal4430]

Does anyone know if the og highs fit like og lows? Cause I have to go down half size in an og low from regular lows.

[@dougefresh8952]

Same here…trying to figure out what size to go for tomorrow 👀

[@SeanGo]

Lows fit a bit roomier

[@romrome]

"So I sound like a broken record" LOL. My first Sean Go video and I felt like I annoyed the heck out of him for asking how's the comfort of an AJ1. Never owned a pair and I'm hoping to cop my fist one. Perhaps deliver the review with a positive tone no matter how repetitive the script is. You never know who's going to be watching your video for the first time 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@SeanGo]

😆😆😆

[@watchyoutube9553]

If u don’t own obsidian or ur pair beat jus hush and respect these for what they are they new and obtainable which beats a shoe u don’t have or is worn out 💀🤷🏾‍♂️😂

agree 100%

These look better off feet, IMO
