Air Jordan 1 x UNION LA Thread

s dubl · Mar 23, 2026

Funny how people try to make up their own narrative on that unc pair, when Gibbs himself said they planned on releasing alongside the chicadows, but there were production issues, and only a handful of pairs were made, so they just ended up being f&f.

Unc is still the worst, to me.

black whites look like a cw that would be on a mid Jordan 1.

The color blocking on the toe of the white pair just doesn’t work.

BW unions ain’t it

blk white would hit outlet if they didn’t have the fragment stamp or union tag.

I like how unanimous the hate is for the white pair... Nobody caping or nothing, love to see it

No reason to post this, other than I took it for LegitCheck and thought it was a nice picture.

Nothing to see here.

Basically lol

I mean the color choice and blocking is very on par with what Fujiwara do on Nike fragments in general but come on, nobody wants that on a triple collab and for it to be the most limited one of the 3 colors. I’m glad most of yall aren’t blind and associate most limited to most fire because they’re weak as hell

It’s cool to dislike the black/white joints… but some of yall front like if you had a chance to get your hands on one of the black/white joints…. you’ll turn it down… everyone has their preference… you like what you like.. I like what I like… I happen to like the black/white joints more than the royals… I still luv the royals… it is what it is.. that’s all I’m saying

White/black Frags would only be a retail purchase then resold for something else.

It’s very possible that if Black/Whites released in the same numbers the Frag-Toes did….. They would hit outlets. Only people that generally liked that colorway or people that wanted to complete the set would cop.

Nike knew this …. Which is why only 5 stores got them.

The real question to me is who at Nike/JB thought the black/white CW was a good idea for a limited triple collab?

I don’t think you have to be a design specialist to know that black/white is kind of…meh.

I don’t understand what the thinking is.

Make the worst colorway of the three the most limited so people will buy it? Why not just make a better colorway that people actually want?

Seems simple enough.
