Union LA is back with multiple Air Jordan 1 designs. While all eyes are on the upcoming Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High ‘Chicago/Shadow’ release, another unexpected colorway has surfaced.
Under the direction of Chris Gibbs, Union is known for its unique approach to mixing classic colorways. This time, they put a fresh spin on iconic Air Jordan 1 OG colors. The confirmed release on February 28, 2025, blends the 'Chicago' lower half with the 'Shadow' upper half. The signature yellow stitching gives the sneaker its recognizable Union touch.

In February 2025, an additional colorway was spotted. A sample of the Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG ‘UNC/Royal’ appeared online. Instagram images revealed a design featuring a UNC blue lower half and a Royal blue upper half. This bold combination brings the best of both worlds together.
The contrast between the colors is further enhanced by the striking yellow laces and stitching, giving the sneaker a handcrafted and vintage look.
Although the ‘UNC/Royal’ colorway is currently only known as a sample, Union LA is always full of surprises. The focus is now on the February 28, 2025, release, but there’s always a chance that this alternate version will drop later this year!
