Union LA x Air Jordan sneakers have carved out a significant place in the sneaker world. The LA-based menswear label, Union LA, has been a long-time collaborator with Nike, with their close partnership beginning in 1992.

Jordan sneakers are among the most coveted shoes that every sneakerhead aspires to own at least once in their lifetime. These basketball shoes, known for their practical features, began their journey in 1985.

Keeping their functionalities intact, Chris Gibbs, the founder of Union LA, molds them into different colorways. With an eye-catching color theme, embroidery, or graphical representations, he brought out some avant-garde in the Jordan brand.
