As one of the most respected purveyors of exclusive products, Union has served as one of Jordan Brand’s most elusive and effective collaborative partners, beefing up the brand’s calendar of releases alongside the likes of A Ma Maniere, Travis Scott and Off-White. Presiding at the intersection of fashion and functionality, the LA-based establishment’s go-to relationship with Jumpman has since proffered a slate of revered propositions including the Union x Air Jordan 1, a duo of Air Jordan 4’s and most recently, the collaborative Air Jordan 2 “Grey Fog”.
Thanks to confirmation from trusted sneaker source MrUnloved1s, the recently previewed AJ 1 KO Low won’t be the only Union-based effort laying claim to Jordan’s first signature silhouette in 2023 with an Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG confirmed to be in the works.
While no potential mock-ups or first-look images have been made available just yet, the upcoming 1985-harkened effort is expected to remain quite disparate in its chosen aesthetic and color palette from the model’s 2018 release and the upcoming duo of yellow and blue canvas-covered solutions.
While we sit tight on further release date information and official images, enjoy a first look at the detachable Swooshes affixed to the Union LA x Air Jordan 1 KO Low.
Ok I’m waiting on the leaks just like y’all, but I can confirm 3 Union Jordan 1s this year. Two AJKO OG lows and one Jordan 1 OG high.
No it doesn’t look anything and I mean anything like the mock ups these blogs and meme accounts are pushing.
