Back in 2018, Virgil Abloh teamed up with Chrome Hearts for an exclusive hoodie. considered by many to be one of the late fashion designer’s most iconic collaborations ever, it was the wardrobe staple of art, fashion, and music icons all over the world. Coincidentally, 2018 was also the year that Abloh unveiled the Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High “UNC”, so to commemorate this special partnership, all three brands have come together to release the Chrome Hearts x Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High “UNC” – and we’re getting our closest look yet!
Building on top of the legendary Air Jordan 1 collaboration, the CH x OW AJ1 features the exact same design and material construction as the original university of North Carolina-inspired pair, but with a few subtle yet striking changes. No doubt one of Virgil’s best releases ever, he went all out with the deconstruction here. From the stitched-on Swoosh to the technical verbiage on the medial side, this is still insanely hyped even four years later.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a Chrome Hearts x Nike collab without the addition of premium silver accessories. Bespoke metal circles surround each individual eyelet, and the Chrome Hearts logo is also etched onto the custom deubré. The aglets have been accented with additional silver tones, while the heel is proudly decorated with the brand’s signature sword pendant.
At the moment, only a us size 14 of the Chrome Hearts x Off-White x Nike Air Jordan 1 High “UNC” is available and it’ll set you back a whopping $12,500. I guess that’s significantly cheaper than the Louis Vuitton x Nike Air force 1 which recently sold for $350,000 at auction. let us know what you think of this exclusive three-way collab, and in related news, it looks like the Off-White x Air Jordan 4 “Bred” has been cancelled!
