The Air Jordan 1 Blacktoe Reimagined brings a fresh twist to one of the most iconic OG colorways in the Jordan lineup. Part of the ongoing “Reimagined” series, this 2025 release draws from a rare promo pair, with a few tweaks that set it apart from standard retros.

I’m a big fan of the Air Jordan line. Most sneaker collectors probably are as well. On this website I’ve reviewed dozens of pairs of Jordans.
The quality and popularity of various releases in the Jordan line of sneakers has varied over time. When I first started collecting, lot of my early pickups besides SB Dunks were Air Jordans.
While my tastes may have changed as far as what I wear day to day and what I find comfortable, there’s no denying that people still love Jordans. The sneaker line is inextricably tied to sneaker culture in general. You can’t collect kicks and not notice the impact and permanence of the Air Jordan retro.
Fit and Technology
While newer Js probably make great basketball sneakers, this site focuses mostly on older models. The Jordan retro speaks more to the collector, generally speaking.
With that said, we are often talking about sneakers with technology that is decades old. Therefore, in general, one should not approach picking up a pair of Jordans as an exercise in comfort. These are not Adidas Ultraboosts!
Instead, collectors tend to focus on the aesthetics, hype, history and stories behind each model and release. That is the magic of the Jordan retro – an ability to tie all these things together to create a legitimate product that appeals to people in many walks of life. Being able to do all this despite the sneakers not boasting the latest cushioning or innovations really speaks to the marketing genius of Nike and Jordan Brand.
In any case, read on to get more information and/or reviews on this popular series of sneakers!

The Air Jordan 3 Lucky Shorts takes inspiration from a little-known piece of Jordan lore — the University of North Carolina shorts MJ supposedly wore under his game uniform for good luck throughout his career. This release nods to that tradition with a clean UNC-adjacent colorway and subtle vintage touches.

The Air Jordan 1 UNC Reimagined brings back a fan-favorite colorway with a vintage twist. Just like the Chicago Reimagined release, the theme here plays on the idea of a pair of Jordans lost in time — left behind in an attic or closet and rediscovered years later, aged but still iconic. It’s an OG colorway brought back with a new twist, and my first time owning UNC AJ1s.
