Union x Air Jordan 1 “Black Toe”

Union x Air Jordan 1 “Black Toe”

Design & Aesthetic:

• Combines the “Black Toe” front with a grey heel from the rarely seen White/Grey OG.
• Exposed blue stitching gives it a “Frankenstein” deconstructed look—intentionally imperfect for a vintage vibe.
• “UN/LA” tag and retro-style tongue are standout Union collab markers.
• Dual lace option (yellow + black) adds flair and mix-and-match customizability.

Materials:

• High-quality, tumbled leather.
• Soft suede at the ankle collar (black section).
• Slightly yellowed midsole mimics age—adds to the vintage aesthetic.

Comfort:

• Traditional Jordan 1 feel: not ultra-padded, but very wearable with decent support.
• Breaks in nicely with wear.

Packaging:

• Includes a special-edition box with vintage Jordan campaign artwork.
• Comes with extra laces and a hangtag featuring the Jumpman logo.
