The Air Jordan 1 Low “Red/White” combines a clean two-tone design with premium leather and vintage details.

Jordan Brand and Union LA have teamed up once again, bringing a bold new take on the Air Jordan 1 High OG with the “I’m Back” colorway. This release blends heritage with Union’s signature design language, creating a sneaker that feels both classic and contemporary. Inspired by Michael Jordan’s legendary return to basketball, this pair carries deep storytelling and undeniable style. The sneaker features a smooth white leather base, setting the foundation for rich red overlays that give it a classic Chicago-inspired feel. A black Swoosh contrasts the upper, while grey panels around the collar introduce a deconstructed, stitched-together aesthetic.

Union’s signature exposed stitching in blue and gold adds a hand-crafted feel, reinforcing the DIY-inspired look that made their previous Air Jordan 1 collabs so iconic. Additional details include a sail midsole that delivers a vintage touch, complemented by a red rubber outsole for durability. The Nike Air branding on the tongue and the UN/LA tag on the collar further cement its high-end, fashion-forward appeal. Inside, premium materials ensure lasting comfort, making this a standout both on foot and in a collection.
