Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG 

Following their 35-year anniversary celebrations, Union Los Angeles reunites with Jordan Brand on another exclusive Air Jordan 1 High collaboration. Owner Chris Gibbs and the LA-based label revisit this winning formula from 2018, sparking everything from fan to collector hype. The Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG SP “Varsity Red” is a unique mashup between the iconic “Chicago” and “Shadow” colourways as an overall nod to the OG.

This Special Project carries a clean, white leather base, accented by Varsity Red overlays, harkening back to the timeless colour blocking of ’85. The ankle panel, which highlights in muted greys, pays homage to the “Shadow” colourway; meanwhile, a sewn-on “UN/LA” fob on the lateral collar complements a heavy, embossed Wings logo. Finally, signature yellow stitching adds a hit of contrasting flair that nods to Union’s streetwear flair. Inside, Dreamcell insoles add a tale to tell; the classic Nike Air label is at the nylon tongue to give that traditional feel. The midsole of sail white vintage sits atop a red rubber cupsole that provides longer-lasting comfort with encapsulated Nike Air in every step.

Rekindling the magic created back in 2018, Union LA has continued to push the boundaries as it marries up the classic ‘Chicago’ base with a ‘Shadow’ upper through an ingenious combination that is touted to have sneaker collectors going crazy!

The attention to detail is unmistakable. The signature yellow stitching from Union LA gives the shoe a handcrafted and bespoke vibe, while the pre-aged midsole brings vintage appeal, making each pair feel like it’s carrying a different kind of history with it. Custom tags and special packaging round out the release, celebrating the artistry behind this iconic sneaker.
