Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG SP Varsity Red Drops on SNKRS Tomorrow

Updated 17th March, 2025: The highly anticipated Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG SP "Chicago Shadow" is making a comeback after its initial raffle debut. This coveted release will be available on SNKRS starting March 18, 2025, with a retail price of £175. With the buzz surrounding this drop, fans can expect these sneakers to sell out in no time.

Updated 14th February, 2025: Following the launch of a dedicated microsite for their highly anticipated Air Jordan 1 collaboration, Union Los Angeles has unveiled both a release date and official imagery for the project.

Although Union has yet to make a formal announcement beyond the microsite, an exclusive Friends & Family release took place on February 8, 2025. For the general public, the wider release is currently slated for 28 February, 2025. These coveted sneakers will be available exclusively through Union Los Angeles, with no updates on a potential SNKRS release at this time.

Union LA and Jordan Brand are gearing up to add a new colourway to their Air Jordan 1 High OG lineup in 2025. Inspired by the Los Angeles retailer's love for thrifting and DIY culture, this colourway gives a fresh look to the iconic sneaker. A release of the Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG SP Varsity Red colourway was expected for February next year but has now been pushed back to Summer 2025.

While rumours of a potential Fragment x Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG release next year have been making the rounds, many have overlooked another banger set to drop in a few months. The sneaker will feature a Varsity Red, Black, Shadow Grey, Muslin and Sail colour scheme. This hints at combining the classic “Chicago” and “Shadow” colourways, merging them into one silhouette.

The Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG SP Varsity Red takes style cues from its "Black Toe" and "Storm Blue" siblings, rocking an aged sail white midsole for that vintage look on top of a red outsole. You also get the nylon tongue decorated with the familiar Nike Air label. With a zigzag stitched mismatched collar, it's like a DIY project gone fabulously right!

In addition to the sneakers, Union LA and Jordan Brand are dropping an apparel collection that includes shirts, fleece hoodies, track jackets, and track pants. While there's no official word on the exact release date or pricing, we expect these to be dropping in men's sizing at Union LA, select retailers and Nike.com.

These sneakers will sell out fast. Make sure to hit the 'Notify me' button for a chance to snag these for retail price when they drop.
