The Union x BBS x Air Jordan 1 collab is coming this summer.

If you love the Air Jordan 1, then the last few years have been a whole lot of fun for you. Overall, this sneaker is consistently getting some amazing new offerings. Moreover, the shoe has gotten its fair share of great collaborations, as well. Although, it should be noted that not all collabs are created equal. That said, one offering that has stood above the rest is the Union x Air Jordan 1 collab from a few years ago. Sneakerheads still remember these fondly, and they should be happy to know another Union x AJ1 collab is coming.

In fact, this new collaboration has a wild new aesthetic to it. In plenty of new photos, we have seen how the shoe has this weird woven stitching along the sides and the back heel. Now, however, it is being revealed that this is because the shoe has a third collaborator. According to @zsneakerheadz on Instagram, this shoe will also contain some aesthetics from Bephie's Beauty Supply. Overall, the inclusion of BBS is very welcomed here, and it leads to a fantastic shoe.

In the images up above, you can get a better sense of what this shoe will look like. Overall, that woven stitching along the side is going to be very polarizing. However, there are definitely some fans who are absolutely going to love it. As for the colors at play here, this shoe plays it pretty neutral. Firstly, the majority of the upper is made of white leather. Secondly, we get some grey here on the cuff and the Nike swoosh. The midsole has an aged yellow look to it, while finally, the laces are a mustard shade of yellow.

As for the release date, nothing has been revealed. Although, it is believed that this shoe will be dropping in August. Now, we wait for Union or Jordan Brand to confirm the details. Let us know your thoughts on these unique sneakers, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world.
