Jordan 1 Retro High OG SP Union LA Chicago Shadow

Jordan 1 Retro High OG SP Union LA Chicago Shadow (2025)

The Jordan 1 Retro High OG SP Union LA Chicago Shadow is a 2025 collaboration between Jordan Brand and Los Angeles-based retailer Union LA, led by Chris Gibbs. Building on the partnership that began in 2018 — when Union first introduced its signature split-colorway Air Jordan 1 formula with the Storm Blue and Black Toe releases — this iteration merges two of the most iconic AJ1 colorways of all time into a single silhouette.

The upper is split between the classic Chicago and Shadow colorways: varsity red tumbled leather covers the mudguard, eyestays, and heel overlay, while the toebox and midfoot panel arrive in white tumbled leather. The collar transitions into black and shadow grey, mirroring the original 1985 Shadow colorway, and the two sections are visually joined by exposed University Blue stitching — a hallmark of Union LA's deconstructed design language. A two-tone black and sail tongue carries the same stitching detail, reinforcing the "sewn-together" aesthetic rooted in DIY and thrifting culture. A pre-yellowed sail midsole, paper-like tongue tag, and exposed foam tongue seams complete the vintage look. The yellow UN/LA tag on the collar and an oversized Jordan Wings logo on the lateral side serve as the collaboration's signature finishing touches. Mix-and-match lacing options add further versatility to the design.
