Michael Le Back in 2018, Union LA produced what many consider to be one of the best collaborative Air Jordan 1s. Fast forward five years later and the storefront is once again returning to MJ’s first signature, albeit not exactly the model many were hoping for.
Revealed back in October, the Union LA x Air Jordan 1 KO Low is the next project from Chris Gibbs and company. And now, following only months after said leaks, actual images of the collaboration have finally surfaced. The colorway, unlike much of the boutique’s prior works, is extremely understated, with white canvas building out the shoe in near entirety. Detachable Swooshes are then affixed along the side, overlaid atop the signature “UN/LA” tag. And in complement to the latter’s bright yellow color, matching stitching is darned onto the lateral forefoot and tongue.
Complete with slightly yellowed midsoles and laces, the upcoming Union LA x Air Jordan 1 KO Low is currently expected to release on January 27th, 2023 at a retail of $150 USD.
In other news, detailed images of the Jarritos Nike SB Dunk Low have surfaced as well.
