The Union LA x Air Jordan 1 Retro High NRG ‘Black Toe’ sees the venerable Los Angeles retailer take inspiration from thrifting and DIY culture to create a new take on the sneaker that started it all. In addition to a pre-yellowed midsole for a vintage aesthetic, a mismatched collar is attached to the rest of the upper with zigzag stitching that gives the impression of a makeshift design.

The Union LA x Air Jordan 1 Retro High NRG ‘Black Toe’ is a standout collaboration that brings a fresh twist to the classic Air Jordan 1 silhouette. This partnership between Jordan Brand and the renowned Los Angeles-based streetwear store, Union LA, combines vintage style with contemporary street fashion, resulting in a sneaker that is both iconic and innovative.

The ‘Black Toe’ design is a nod to one of the original colorways of the Air Jordan 1, featuring a mix of white, black, and red leather panels. What sets the Union collaboration apart are the distinctive design touches like the “UN/LA” tag on the quarter panel and the unique stitching that appears to join two halves of different Jordan 1 models. This creative approach gives the impression that the shoe is a custom piece, stitched together from elements of various Air Jordan 1s.

Adding to its unique aesthetic, the sneaker features a pre-aged, yellowed midsole, enhancing the vintage appeal. The top of the shoe includes classic Jordan details such as the perforated toe box and the original wings logo on the ankle. However, these elements are blended with Union’s signature approach to design, seen in the off-white stitching and the bold red collar.

The construction retains the sturdy and comfortable build typical of the Air Jordan 1, with a durable rubber outsole that incorporates a pivot point and flex grooves for enhanced traction and flexibility. Inside, the Nike Air cushioning ensures that this model is not just a collectible but a highly wearable piece of sneaker history.

The Union LA x Air Jordan 1 ‘Black Toe’ is not just a shoe; it’s a statement of art and culture, bringing together elements of basketball heritage and modern streetwear. It’s highly sought after by collectors and fashion enthusiasts for its unique story and aesthetic.

Adding Union LA x Air Jordan 1 Retro High NRG ‘Black Toe’ to your collection is a way to celebrate the merging of classic and contemporary design in one of the most innovative collaborations in the sneaker world.
