Michael Le West coast boutique UNION LA surprised suddenly with their Air Jordan 1s quite a bit back, both colorways replete with vintage ethos. For Fall/Winter ’20, the imprint is following up their previous set with not just two but four different pairs for release at the end of August. From their duo of Air Jordan 4Nike Air Cement Jordan 1 Retro Mid New Love 2017 27cm Jordan 4 Bred Natural Born Killers tee and Jordan Delta Mid, the “Sophomore Album” as they call it delivers a theme still retro-inspired and filled to the brim with Chris Gibbs’ personal touch.
The undisputed helm of the entire collection, the two Air Jordan 4s effectively retrace past ideas with new additions. “Off-Noir,” as a visual mirror of the aforementioned AJ1, brings the same palettes of black, white, red, and blue with a material composition plush and like that of “Birkenstock sandals” as Gibbs Jay-Z. Its vibrant complement, the “Guava,” takes the same color story and dials it to a neon 11 — the upper masked in bright pink while the white adjacent mix in more saturated shades along with pastel blues and vintage yellowing. But while their palettes are significantly loud, the structural details are far more interesting as the tongue is loosely stitched down for a shorter look while the paneling adds an extra element for a profile unique to UNION themselves.
Then, though left out of previous leaks, the collaborative Air Jordan Fossil 4 from 2015 arrives as a tweaked replication of the “Off-Noir” pair. Blues dress the collar as black neutrals dye the majority, while subtler details deliver muted orange branding and red contrast stitch as well as heel counter panels. React foam ushers in the silhouette’s attention to technical improvement while the general aesthetic is all UNION’s own doing. In a similar vein, the Jordan 4 Bred Natural Born Killers tee reflects “Guava” in its choice of presentation — everything translated to the Frankenstein’d silhouette via its eye stay molds, tooling, layered paneling, and the like.
Grab a detailed look at the entire set of footwear here, and with much more on the way, expect quite a large launch come August 29th.
