Union x Air Jordan 1 Retro High NRG "Storm Blue": Review & On-Feet

What a way to close out the year! Union LA and Jordan Brand teamed up in November to release a collection inspired by vintage wear and style. Headlining the release was the "Storm Blue" Air Jordan 1 which was only available for purchase through Union. Luck would have it and I landed a pair, which allowed me to bring today's review to you all. Check out all the details and why this shoe has many calling it their favourite drop of 2018!

Just gifted myself a pair of these to celebrate a pretty big milestone in my life. Can’t wait to get back home to rock em this December!

Congrats on the milestone!!! Enjoy the shoes!

These came out before I really started collecting.. such a beautiful shoe. On my grail list.

Man can't believe this was the Union Exclusive pair.. definitely the better of the 2 IMO

[@SMPLHobbies]

I 100% did the 180 as well. Funny how that happens sometimes. These storms and the black toes in hand are the nicest shoes I've seen since collecting. They really are that good.

[@cjmixer99]

Man, these are SOOOOOOO 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 I was waiting for your review on these to see how the quality was like... Your review completely sold me on these, but now I'm just hoping the aftermarket prices calm down. Thanks for the great review! I'm always tuned in 😎

[@unspokensoles]

I also did a 180, once I had this pair, and the other pair in hand. I'll be keeping mine, and wearing them! Love the reviews, btw. Keep em coming.

[@SeanGo]

Same here, congrats on the pickup!

[@changlor5082]

Good job Sean. We wear the same size, so i always watch your vids. Very informative as well. Love these shoes, I got both pairs!!!

[@manofthehour1983]

The best AJ 1 ever made . So dope for so many reasons

[@KILLERTOM8OES]

Always killing it with reviews, Sean! Only one of the select few KZbin reviewers whose videos I watch from beginning to end. It's also a curse as you always make me want to buy the shoes you review. A co worker of mine was able to cop these and man.. the material quality on these are unmatched. You have to see them in hand to really appreciate. The yellow laces also give off that Philippines vibe which is really dope. 2018 Sneaker of the Year in my opinion. Off to sell a few shoes in my collection to pay resale for these UN/LAs!

[@SeanGo]

Appreciate your support, and yes these are insane!

[@larryheath1350]

Big congrats! 🔥 resell is crazy on those

[@jjjjax]

Great review bro! I felt the exact same way at first but when I saw Lebron wearing the "Storm Blue" pair with the yellow laces, it was a wrap for me. However, I couldn't secure those but I did manage to get the "Black Toe" pair. Nevertheless, they still straight heat!!!

[@mikeysyke]

So nice, black toe/storm greys are better though, these got more hype as they are the more limited pair of the 2

[@mikeysyke]

BLAX SMITH my math still says the blues were more limited 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@yolomacswag7086]

Nah the black toes look so boring

[@mikeysyke]

BLAX SMITH the blues were still more limited, straight facts is that the released in retailers all over the world. It’s what Nike often do, like the recent Nike sb diamond collab, the blacks were produced in higher numbers than the white pair. Same with the undefeated 97s last year

It’s great when you throw whatever shoe you have on feet, not like most other youtubers who kept it DS for resale, that’s not real shoe review.

Took an L but selling off pairs for these. Neeeeeed them. I hated how everyone talked smack until it was limited release. I fell in love when I first saw them.

[@JL050]

I got these during the original drop when the site had all the issues. I copped almost 30 mins after the official drop time. Could've gotten both pairs since I got thru for the black toe as well but because I tried to be cute and entered my girl's address but used my billing address they canceled the order for fraud. Oh well maybe I'll treat myself and just pay resell for a Christmas gift.

[@JL050]

@@blaxsmith at least I got a pair so...

[@j5daniel182]

blue pair is way better. if you are gonna pay resell, might as well get the loudest one. the other one is not much different from any black toe jordan colorway.

[@SeanGo]

Joseph Daniel Batino that’s my thoughts exactly

[@SeanGo]

@@blaxsmith Who said anything about them releasing before? His point was the Black Toe Unions aren't significantly different than past Black Toe releases, especially when worn with pants that cover the tongue. The Blues stand out more. Just our personal opinion.. it's not stupid to have one.

Sean. Hope you can reply to this guys from LA California. I’m debating weather this ULA blue toe or the AJ1 Travis Scott high tops. Huge fan of your channel and by far you are my #1 than Mr Foamer as #2. You are making hard for me to choose since I’m gonna have to bite my tongue and pay the after market resell 😔. As you did with those Travis Scott. I want them both but I have choose. Since you have then both which you think you really like the most since the quality as you mentioned are amazing and that is my main focus to be honest. Great appreciate if you can hit me back. What a great job and hard work you put on this videos with the super high quality video.
