The Air Jordan 1 low debuted in 1985 alongside the Air Jordan 1 High as the first low-top signature sneaker developed by Nike for Michael Jordan. The Peter Moore designed sneaker featured a simple Nike Dunk inspired design that incorporated the Nike Swoosh and the Jordan Wings logo and featured Nike Air.

The women's Jordan 1 Low Black University Blue features a smooth white leather upper with black overlays and University Blue Swooshes. At the heel, an embroidered Air Jordan Wings logo nods to the origins of the Air Jordan 1. From there, a nylon tongue with a University Blue Jumpman logo completes the design.
