After the first online release which was full check out headaches, Union LA has decided to rerelease them one more time on their website a week after. I was able to luckily grab a pair in my size on one of colourways regarded as a potential sneaker of the year of 2018. Working with the Jordan brand, Union has released a capsule of apparel and two Air Jordan 1 colourways. Inspired by the look of the vintage and the creatvitiy of the FIY culture. Today, I have the Air Jordan 1 by Union ‘Storm Blue’ here for a review.

[@SuFFo]

heat, you and sean are my favorite reviewers!

[@s2DoubleU]

Respect. Thanks for the support!

[@swolern]

How do you feel about them now. Over 2 years later, grail status?

[@SILVAID]

may i know are the length of the lace between two tone lace and the yellow lace are diffrent ? on my pair ,the lace of yellow one a little bit shorter than two tone. are you guys experience the same thing?

[@alexanderchoi3576]

You know that “tooling” is used to refer to how the midsole/outsole is made, right? Leather tooling isn’t a thing...

[@yuweijiang8610]

nice review as always

[@s2DoubleU]

Thanks for watching!!

[@jaypatrick8026]

A must have for me.

[@larrydavid5716]

Dope bro must cop.. sad to say s9 is so much hard to find

[@iqbaalannaafi761]

Would you recommend these shoes for summer outfits?

[@debso]

Yellow laces in them will change your opinion of these.

[@SILVAID]

are that nubuck swoosh color will changing/faded by the time ? anyone please help me to answer, because my pair looks a little bit faded on the swoosh

[@chrismiranda5648]

Yeah mine are a bit of a lighter shade of blue then his are too so you’re not the only one

[@yifeixu8771]

Well, if you don't feel like these, I would be more than glad to take them over for retail especially I'm 10.5.

[@bengcheck3008]

ha

[@samirisaacyuh2248]

LOL

[@oo7dw]

Imo these were more well thought out than any off white design and doesn't have to be gawdy. I have the black toes and they are amazing in hand. Probably my favorite release this year.

[@s2DoubleU]

I actually prefer the black toe version now lol

[@anndread]

fireeee!!

[@chrismiranda5648]

Damn if these are retail pairs the inconsistencies on these are terrible..maybe first initial release had poor quality control cause I know y’all see that differences in the back stitching from the left to the right pair. Both entirely different.

[@Max-cj3bv]

Took an L on both, so hard to get in Canada. Great review as always!

[@s2DoubleU]

Definitely just luck. The first release was a mess, tried for this second re-release and magically got through haha. And thanks for dropping by again man. Means a lot.

[@ivanin6413]

How much did you get by duties?

[@s2DoubleU]

$50 this time.

[@nicenice7587]

Nice

[@MONK3YS4CK]

how could you forget about the Origin Story 1

[@s2DoubleU]

Because I didn't like them :(

[@ratburn2000]

would u wear them half a size down?

[@s2DoubleU]

your best bet is to try a random Jordan 1 High sitting in store to see if you can fit in a half size down. I cannot because of my wide foot shape, doesn't work with the narrowness of this shoe.

[@amemochi9283]

💯💯💯💯

[@mastersasori01]

This and/or the Concord?

[@s2DoubleU]

Personally, both are pretty good options. The only thing I have with Concord is that there'll always be retros. This Union collab (this colourway at least) is only a one time thing if you know what I mean. If you have the money for resale, go for something more unique I suppose.

[@mastersasori01]

@@s2DoubleU Yeah, good point. I think this is the best looking sneaker of the year, buzzer beating the Off-White Presto. But the Concord has its story behind it so... gonna go with the J11s this time.

[@cenachen5654]

Should I go true size or a half size up for aj1?

[@bengcheck3008]

Tts

[@blaxsmith]

...you don’t listen to your viewers, the extra set of laces is REVERSED

[@robertodelacruz2479]

followed bro and stay legit

[@jeffochen]

Easily the best sneaker from Jordan brand in 2018
