Sneaker fans, get ready! The highly anticipated Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG “Varsity Red” is almost here. After months of leaks and rumors, the release is expected to happen soon, with reports pointing to a February 12, 2025 launch. You’ll be able to find them on Nike SNKRS, Union LA, and select retailers for $200 USD.
This new design brings together two iconic Air Jordan 1 colorways — the classic “Chicago” and the sleek “Shadow.” The shoe features a bold mix of Varsity Red, Black, Sail, Shadow Grey, and Muslin. One standout detail is the visible stitching in powder blue at the collar, which highlights the unique combination of the two colorways.
The design stays true to Union LA’s signature style, with details like:
- A “Frankenstein”-like stitched look blending Chicago and Shadow elements
- An exposed foam tongue for a vintage vibe
- An aged midsole to give it that worn-in, retro feel
- Special insole graphics that nod to the design process
Fans will remember Union LA’s first Air Jordan 1 collab from 2018, which became an instant hit. This new version keeps that same energy with fresh updates for 2025, marking the 40th anniversary of the Air Jordan 1.
While the official release date hasn’t been fully confirmed by Jordan Brand or Union LA, the hype is real. Keep an eye on Union LA’s Instagram and their microsite for more updates.
Stay tuned for more details and on-foot photos as we get closer to release day!
