Another Union x Jumpman collab is on the way.

Fans of the Air Jordan 1 have been eating very well over the past few decades. Overall, this is easily one of the best sneakers ever made. It is a shoe that can be worn with anything. Moreover, it is versatile in the sense that it can also be worn out on the court. There is no denying that this is a shoe that will make sneakerheads go wild, regardless of the colorway. This is good news for Jumpman, who can sleep at night knowing this silhouette will always do numbers for them.

Consequently, it should come as no surprise that brands love to do collaborations on the Air Jordan 1. There are a ton of things you can do with the shoe to spruce it up. Union in LA understands this better than anyone. They have collaborated with Jumpman in the past, on numerous silhouettes. However, their Air Jordan 1 remains one of the best sneakers they have ever done. Now, it appears as though they are looking to follow up this success with a brand-new offering. Although, this is much different than what you may be expecting.

A New Union x Air Jordan 1

Thanks to the Instagram sneaker insiders @xcsnkr and @zsneakerheadz, we now have some in-hand images of the new Union x Air Jordan 1. This is definitely a unique take on the Jordan 1, and it might not be for everyone. Firstly, the shoe is covered in white leather. Although, this is not the crazy part. The wildest part of the sneaker is the woven basket look we get that goes all the way down the sides and wraps around the toe box, as well as the back heel. When you put these elements together, you get a shoe that will turn heads. Whether or not people will resonate with this, remains to be seen.

For now, it is believed that the shoe will drop in August for a price of $200 USD. However, this is a rumor, meaning Jumpman and Union have yet to confirm anything. In the meantime, let us know what you think of this Air Jordan 1, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world.
