Hideous

Just popping in to say that the university blue suede joints that just dropped are trash. Sole and upper color aren't even the same.

Throwing on my bred 1s today for my boy Paul

(The others were his favorite kicks that I heard the most about )

I disagree

That’s all you got? You better bring something better than that.

He didn't lie lmao, easily the most overrated 1 in the last few years. Also easily the worst out of all 3 UNC highs. I don't understand the hype at all.

 

[headdetective]

3? You counting Obsidians?

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

The Frag/Travis Scott lows are better.

Some people prefer Chicago-like blocking. Not overrated at all. Resell price is too high though.

Don't need to bring anything else. Their wackness speaks loud enough. Trash as dunks in 2010 (yes I know the swoosh and tongue are different colors, but still the same reused garbage). Trash as 1s in 2021. Can't imagine why people fiend for something they didn't even know existed a year ago.

Trash 2010 dunks for reference w/ unversity blue suede + white leather/mesh + black laces that went on sale because...they were trash.

There is a certain amount of Team J's that are pure classics to me and they're all from like 97-99. I get that some don't even mess with those but to me they are childhood classics and never gave me knock off or 2007 Team J vibes.

Exactly. They were everywhere during those days (I was in middle school ‘97-‘00). It’s just a fact that I will never wear Team Jordan’s again. Just don’t fit my style anymore personally. But there’s no doubt that at one time in the late ‘90s they, in particularly the Jordan Team 1 and the Jordan Jumpman Pro, were viewed as dope by pretty much everyone. I’m not the oldest, but I remember these models being rocked by Eddie Jones, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett, and some of the great color ways they had. My personal favorite was the Jordan Team 1 in the UNC color way. Sure, I recognize that to some they’ll never be “real” Jordan’s and be viewed as “off brand,” but let’s not act like they were NEVER EVER viewed fondly upon at one time.

These are the the only worthwhile Team J’s IMO:

I played in these in high school and I honestly liked them better than the 18s. I remember FBIs came with a rubber hand band (along with the usual mid foot band) that said something on it, I honestly can’t remember what it said haha

Don‘t need to bring anything else yet you did, wrote a book and included a picture.

I was about to post on this earlier...The lack of Team F.B.I. mentions is straight disrespectful...

Damn six sentences and a picture is a book for you? Stay in school, son.

Yeah I see UNC and Obsidian used interchangeably for them. I don't own a pair so idk

Hey vinnuendo, take your L and move on. Your explanations are weak all around. The University Blue’s are far from trash. Sorry, but not sorry.

OG UNCs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> obsidians >>> suede uncs

 

[313sole]

I would love a Black/UNC Combo, something in the spirit of the Nubuck Black/Uni 12's. That would be clean!

 

[vinnuendo]

OG UNCs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> obsidians >>> suede uncs

Facts! OG UNCs are an all time favorite. I'm happy enough to be beating up the retros over the years since they came out

 

[Kierris]

The sail midsoles ruined the obsidians for me.

 

[kidoopz]

I wasn't too keen on the Obsidians either .. Sold mine .. I do like these university Blues though.. Pretty clean

 

[D_eezus]

How these got a better shape than the highs. Gonna need these

 

[lilbrad407]

Hoping they GR these to death
