You know it’s gonna be good when it has Union written all over it. In fact, Nike and Union LA have been in a steady partnership since 2005. You can read all about the brands’ common history right here. However, the Union Jordan 1 collab was such a hit, that we’re still discussing it 4 years later. And now, rumors are flying about some new collaborative AJ1s, both high and low! So what’s up with that? Read on to find out what the whole deal’s about!
Union Jordan 1 Low KO – Brand New Everything!
Before we get into the details, let’s talk about Jordan 1 KO. To those unfamiliar, AJKO isn’t actually new and it dates back to the 1980s just like the OG Jordan 1. However, Nike dropped the AJKO, which stands for “Knockoff”, as an affordable canvas alternative to leather AJ1s. You can read all about it here. And sadly, the kicks didn’t catch as much heat as the OG Jordan 1s. However, things seem to be changing, especially with the new Union Jordan 1 Low KO!
So the new collab will have quite a list of firsts. For example, this is the first time we’ll get a low-top AJKO, and the first KO by Union! That’s not all, because this time, the Union Jordan 1 is bringing some custom feels to the kicks. Instead of the classic swoosh, you’ll have the option to remove it because it’s Velcro! Underneath the colored swoosh, the swoosh features Union’s tag “UN/LA”. The whole thing will come in white and grey with blue and grey swoosh options.
More AJKOs Make a Merrier Collection!
Although this is the main attraction so far, rumor has it that there will be another Union Jordan 1 KO low design. This time it’s gonna be an all-leather upper instead of the canvas… oh how the turntables. Either way, everyone is expecting the kicks to drop on January 27, 2023, for $150. Now, although we don’t have a resale value, a Union Jordan 1 is always a hit in the industry. And if you manage to cop a couple of kicks, you’ll probably be able to make some decent profit! Just make sure you have the right sneaker bot for the job!
Do… Do I Sense Another Union Jordan 1 High?
We always stay on guard when it comes to sneaker rumors. You never know when they’ll disappoint you and turn out to be samples of F&F exclusives. But we couldn’t help but wonder about this one. Another sneaker leak account mentioned that a new Union Jordan 1 High is in the works and will drop in 2023. Yup. And just a kind reminder that the original Union Jordan 1s are worth a lot. In fact, the Black Toe is worth $1,811 on average, while the Blue Toe is worth about $1,969!
