We can now get a detailed look at the Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘Chicago/Shadow’, dear community! While back in August 2024 there were only rumours about this collaboration, October 2024 has seen the first images of the colorway. And remarkably, the design looks very similar to the earlier mock-up we saw in August.
This collaboration builds on the successful ‘Frankenstein’ theme of the previous 2018 Union LA x Air Jordan 1 releases. As previously mentioned, the new design combines the collar of the Air Jordan 1 ‘Shadow’ with the upper of the Air Jordan 1 ‘Chicago’. The powder blue stitching at the collar creates a striking contrast between these two colorways.
In addition, the sneaker has several other interesting details, such as a paper tongue label and a ‘yellowed’ midsole that adds to the vintage look. The insole features illustrations referring to the design process, which makes my heart beat faster.
According to preliminary information, the Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG is scheduled for a release on 12 February 2025, although this date has not yet been officially confirmed by Jordan Brand or Union LA. We recommend keeping a close eye on developments surrounding this sneaker via the Sneakerjagers news page.
