Union LA gets ready for the Air Jordan 1 release

Chris Gibbs, founder of Union LA, is preparing for the next collaboration with Jordan Brand. A few months ago, the first images of the Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High 'Chicago/Shadow' surfaced — a fusion of the duo's previous collaborations.

The Air Jordan 1 and Jordan Brand are celebrating their 40th anniversary in 2025. To mark this milestone, Union LA is bringing one of their iconic collaborations with Nike back to the shelves. In 2018, the Union LA x Air Jordan 1 'Black Toe' was released, quickly selling for thousands of euros on the resale market.

Now, the sneaker is making a return. Well, a variant of the release. In 2025, we can expect the Air Jordan 1 High 'Chicago/Shadow,' and it seems like the release is closer than we think. A website, www.unionjordanimback.com, has just gone live, hinting at the upcoming release.

Also on Instagram, Union LA is getting ready for the release, and we can see founder Chris Gibbs with the Union LA collab. It is still unknown when the sneaker will release, but it looks like we won't have to wait long.
