Union LA will reprise its ongoing relationship with Jordan Brand with another Air Jordan 1 High collaboration in February 2025. Chris Gibbs’ streetwear brand first touched up the AJ1 through two colorways back in late 2018, a moment in time that can now be referenced as the pinnacle of Air Jordan 1 hype. Drawing from thrifting and DIY culture, the duo consisted of ambitious fusions of AJ1 colorways from 1985, with one pair marrying “Neutral Grey” with “Black Toe” and its counterpart combining “Bred” with “Storm Blue.”
