Union, the renowned Los Angeles-based brand, is making waves again with their upcoming collaboration with Jordan Brand. This time, they are revisiting the iconic Air Jordan 1 High OG silhouette with a split colorway, showcasing a sample pair in an eye-catching “UNC/Royal” combination. While details have been scarce, early previews from leaks and rumors have finally come to fruition this week at an event where Union revealed not only the anticipated “Chicago/Shadow” AJ1 High OG but also a fresh sample of the “UNC/Royal” colorway.
The brand has a storied history of releasing their Jordan collaborations in pairs, dating back to their celebrated debut with the AJ1 in 2018. The anticipation builds as sneaker enthusiasts await the official announcement of the “UNC/Royal” release slated for later this month. With the recent trend of exclusive and limited releases, this might end up being a special edition or possibly even a friends & family style that highlights the strong relationship between Union and the Jordan legacy.
As insiders suggest, the actual release date is linked with the “Chi/Shadow” model on February 28, 2025, and all indications suggest that the “UNC/Royal” variant will be part of this drop. Fans of both brands are advised to stay updated through various channels for the latest announcements and potential release information.
