Aug 30, 2020

Union Los Angeles and Jordan Brand kicked off their collaborative partnership back in 2018 with a pair of Air Jordan 1s.

One pair comes dressed in “Storm Blue” and the other in a “Black Toe” color blocking inspired by the late ’80s and early ’90s. Both are constructed with a DIY design, pre-yellowed midsole and a “UN/LA” patch added to each lateral ankle.

For 2020, Union LA and Jordan Brand debuted their Air Jordan 4 collaboration consisting again in two color options, “Off Noir” and “Guava” makeups. Both come with stitched tongues that can be easily removed to reveal a normal tongue size depending on your preference as a nod to how Union’s Chris Gibbs used to rock his 4s. The vintage-looking yellowed soles are a call back to the Union’s Jordan 1 collaboration from 2018.

Check out both Union x Air Jordan collabs, and let us know which was the better release by casting your vote below.
