After a selection of teasers made its way on to social media, the Union x Jordan Brand capsule has officially been revealed. Union‘s own Chris Gibbs took inspiration from discovering special vintage pieces for the range, namely digging up old Nike sportswear. Retro graphics and logos are utilized for the apparel as well as giving the fabrics a well-worn feel for that true vintage vibe. As for the kicks, the Air Jordan 1 also gets a mixed-and-matched makeover to echo a special DIY aesthetic – stitches are exposed and soles are slightly discolored to mimic aging.
In the closer look above, you’ll get a better sense of the details and thought that went into the collection. Washed fabrics and cracked screen prints elevate the whole theme, making the collective a must-have for any die-hard vintage sportswear aficionado.
See detailed shots of the Union and Jordan Brand range here and let us know which ones are your standouts. The capsule is expected to arrive on November 17 at select Jordan Brand retailers as well as Union LA. Stay tuned with us for additional pricing information.
The holiday season wouldn’t feel right without a YEEZY release. After we took a closer look at the adidas YEEZY 500 “Salt” earlier in the month, a release date of November 30 has surfaced.
The forthcoming YEEZY 500 drop will succeed a restock of the YEEZY 350 V2 “Zebra,” which is slated to arrive on November 9. Various shades of grey are met by cow suede, premium leather, mesh, nubuck and reflective piping that wraps around the model. The release date comes to us courtesy of Foot Locker, with a retail price of $200 USD.
Over the years we’ve seen quite a few artistic twists to some of our favorite Air Jordan models. The Air Jordan 5 recently took on a graphic-heavy “Wings” iteration along with Dan Life’s crystal-encrusted Air Jordan 1 and countless others. The Air Jordan 4 is next in line thanks to its forthcoming “Tattoo” design. Initially revealed earlier in the month, the model incorporates Jordan Brand’s signature mix of red, white and black throughout the sneaker with an upper that’s drenched in an all-over graphic of basketball-inspired tattoos.
Take a look at the drop from all angles in the shots above and let us know if these are a must cop for you. The Air Jordan 4 “Tattoo” is expected to launch in Greater China on November 11 and globally on December 29.
