Bro, great review. Hella late response to this older review. But I'm an OG sneakerhead since 1989, having my first true sneakerhead purchase a first release pair of Air Jordan IVs, cements. Want to say i love how you break down the story and the details of the shoe. I respect how you give love to shoes that don't normally do. Being in the game as long as I have, i feel some Heads over indulge in hype and apparent monetary value of shoes, which is fine. But i identify with Heads that choose a sneaker based on form, detail, storytelling and creativity and not hype. You seem to share this view and i appreciate it. In my opinion, that represents a true sneaker head.
I'm late as hell but isn't the weaving pattern on the sneaker suppose to signify the train tracks/ train station where his wife and him met at? If u kinda look at the weave pattern it does look like train tracks and swore thats what union said it was suppose to signify and also be a tribute to the Nike footscapes. Which I think was the pair of shoes his wife was wearing when they met at train station.
I think it’s going to sell out anyway no matter how they look. It’s a pass for me. I would love to see them in hand and have a change of heart to be honest.
Almost did a chargeback today cus union taking so damn long to ship. After hearing the metaphor for the weaving I’ll keep them . I like the symbolism a lot
I’m so stoked to get these in hand. I hit on SNKRS, but still waiting on them to ship. For some reason they still haven’t left the warehouse. Nike on some boo boo.
The woven front..naw mane..the woven on the side i can kinda' tolerate but that front ..like Michael Blackson said on Friday2 'i can't get JIGGY with that.
Naw I ain't feeling those but yeah bro you are right our opinions don't matter....I have shoes some people don't like and I continue to wear them because I like them
You and me both. I own over 7 pairs of Kswiss and as we all know people who love shoes aren't commonly copping or collecting Kswiss. I am. I own most of the SI 18. It's MY shoe. Lol.
I love the story and appreciate them doing something new. I still can’t get past the weaving going around the toe box. It should stopped before it met the toe box IMO. The shape is changed too much.
Dope storyline for sure. Passing on these personally. Weaving in marriage shares that same meaning no doubt. Still a pass. That lace combo is tough. Either way. Thanks for sharing bro. Let’s goooooo!
What I can tell you is that I got the same pair same size and it seems like all reviewers were given good shaped shoes with small to very little flaw’s disappointed with my pair looks like a B class pair
These look good imo, not at first sight tho, takes a little while, if they sit I can cop and appreciate them but i aint about payin' any resale for these
Damm bots and resellers took them all again so I took yet another L I knew i wasnt going to win a pair now resellers marked them up to 300 so im waiting to see if they drop
Story just feels weird to me - a story tried to hard and we all know it's just Nike efforts to hype up any upcoming footscape woven which are about to release.
Everyone will be in love with these by this time next year. “The quality bro” “they get more comfortable bro” “ the design is fire bro” 😂😂😂
Grabbed a pair through the drop this morning! Really excited to get them in hand. I appreciate Union trying something different
The on foot looks so good I’m glad to see the top isn’t flattened out when wearing them
Yeah, I hope I can grab a pair. I liked them from jump. Great storytelling on a great silhouette.
These have grown on me.....I just need turquoise lace to freak the shoe!!
With the orange laces straight 🔥🔥🔥
💯

The Bronx is the heart of the beginning, lol... Great video thou!
J1 of the year! I’ve been standing on it. Just wait until people switch up when they see it on feet and they sell out
they look bad on feet
I think it’s going to sell out anyway no matter how they look. It’s a pass for me. I would love to see them in hand and have a change of heart to be honest.
These are straight up ugly 💀
VERY HIGH QUALITY materials and different design... FIRE '¡¡
🙏just grabbed a pair direct from union's website. such a sick shoe
this colorway is the best out of any union in my opinion. just really wish it didnt have the stitching but its def unique.
Great video, I love footscapes. Have about 4 pairs, & was happy when I saw the hate for these 1’s so I’m hoping I can grab these for retail. 🙏🏾
Copped a Personal Size 12 today online drop, so excited!
Please do something with your mustache bro I’m begging you 🙏🏽 😂
Love these. Copped off union yesterday. MIGHT try to double up tomorrow.
I saw a story where his wife’s favorite shoe is the Nike foot scape which is also an inspiration for the shoe that ties into the theme.
These joints are so clean I’m definitely going for them and on foot they look even better
Those Union Gold laces are a must for these
Agree. Those aces are tough !
I actually thought that the stitch represented braids and yeah I like the way the stitch can be interpreted in more than one way
Almost did a chargeback today cus union taking so damn long to ship. After hearing the metaphor for the weaving I’ll keep them . I like the symbolism a lot
I’m so stoked to get these in hand. I hit on SNKRS, but still waiting on them to ship. For some reason they still haven’t left the warehouse. Nike on some boo boo.
Great review bro! Can’t wait to get mine in the mail. What is the Jeans brand on the second on feet? Thanks for the content Fam!
Cop them from under retail. Might switch up the laces. Saw someone wear them with the mint green color ones.
This on feet made me like these shoes ❤🎉
Copped mine today!
This pair is so dope from the story to the quality and craftsmanship they did this pair very well. Thanks for the in depth review Tony🫡👟🔥.
The woven front..naw mane..the woven on the side i can kinda' tolerate but that front ..like Michael Blackson said on Friday2 'i can't get JIGGY with that.
But I do understand the story' but nawwww mane
Didn’t even know these existed😭- just got into shoes. I can’t understand the hate. These are straight gas🔥🔥
I’m loving these
Thank you everyone that thinks they're ugly and don't want them I got these for a good price just now.
Naw I ain't feeling those but yeah bro you are right our opinions don't matter....I have shoes some people don't like and I continue to wear them because I like them
You and me both. I own over 7 pairs of Kswiss and as we all know people who love shoes aren't commonly copping or collecting Kswiss. I am. I own most of the SI 18. It's MY shoe. Lol.
Same here I’m passing on these as well. I would love to see them in hand 🤚🏾 to see if I have a change of heart. But ya, rock what you like for sure!
The story make the shoes even better. I’m still on the fence though!
I can't find my size :'( any suggestion? looking for a size 4 woman!!!
Great video!
These are ffffinggggg beautiful I got 2 pairs I might get another my favorite pair this year
I love the story and appreciate them doing something new. I still can’t get past the weaving going around the toe box. It should stopped before it met the toe box IMO. The shape is changed too much.
I love it all but the exposed foam.
Bouta cop a pair. My girl hates them but I'm sure once I wear it she'll like them😂
What color laces you rocking bro
Great explanation. More simply put, the Footscape released in 1996😂
Dang went deep on us! Need this shoe!
Copped today on the union website
Are these solid in the woven portion like a typical J1, or does it seem like there will be a little slippage in that area as the shoe is worn?
Like a normal j1 on the inside. Can’t see through the woven part. Should be fine.
@@mattkaminski1832 thanks. It's hard to tell what it feels like from the photos and videos
Dope storyline for sure. Passing on these personally. Weaving in marriage shares that same meaning no doubt. Still a pass. That lace combo is tough. Either way. Thanks for sharing bro. Let’s goooooo!
These have like a ‘85 cut ?
Damn bro you creased the back of the left shoe probably tryin to smash them feet in without uniting them
These are lovely : if they come
In a low! Whoooooo
I called em trash because of the woven, but that’s because I want my OG colors
Does it fit a bit tighter or just like a regular jordan 1 high?
Fit regular get your normal size
Summer of 96’ in Inglewood was brakkin!
I'll rock those
I like it with orange laces
I copped a pair last month for 240 at cola kicks
Just got a pair for 140, glad waited cuz i definitely wanted
These are hard!! Im NOT going for em though. I didnt like em on initial photos. The story on em changed MY mind like everyone else. Ill admit it.
I guess you dont got to worry about creasing them haha
I heard somewhere that the guy and girl on the bike in the ad for these is their son and his girlfriend. Dont know how true that is though.
my man said “DebuTED” …😅
Gotta feeling these be a huge w.
Feel free to tell me I'm wrong In a few months tho
I copped US12s please don't be wrong
@easylife7409 unfortunately I took an L but I'm happy for you bro! Took an L on kobe day too hopefully my luck turns around for the yutos haha
you were wrong lmao but. Still an underrated pair of unions that I think will go for more in the future or in a couple years.
@SouthJerseyBaitReviews yeah I'm sitting on mine haha. Maybe one day
Not a fan of this colorway but I guarantee if they drop more colorways people will want them
That Chicago custom they did looked fire
What I can tell you is that I got the same pair same size and it seems like all reviewers were given good shaped shoes with small to very little flaw’s disappointed with my pair looks like a B class pair
They're a definite pass for me, but good luck to those that actually want these
💯
Facts
I hope i get the W. I love different! Hope people not feeling them so I get a chance 😜 but these damn resellers is killing me 😩
Got mine and surprise is plus one😅
These are $120 now. I copped lol
I like the shoe but the story makes it less desirable for me. I feel like that should’ve just been a F&F pair.
Funny psychology about that is people would’ve probably wanted them in that case🤦🏿♂️
These look good imo, not at first sight tho, takes a little while, if they sit I can cop and appreciate them but i aint about payin' any resale for these
But me them size 9😢
I thought they where in women’s sizing and got the wrong size😢
💀
I hope I get these 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Love the story, love UNLA, but can’t get into the look of these
you were getting deep lol
Should have been fire without the stiching. Aint it😑
Yeah just a boring white a gray 1. Sooooo fire 😂
These definitely going below retail 🔜
Damm bots and resellers took them all again so I took yet another L I knew i wasnt going to win a pair now resellers marked them up to 300 so im waiting to see if they drop
Sizing will go as low as 3.5 or 4
Story just feels weird to me - a story tried to hard and we all know it's just Nike efforts to hype up any upcoming footscape woven which are about to release.
Fire
I actually like these but I am not coppin 😂
Same!!!! Don't need or want em. I'll let the Nike sheep eat em up.
Nice!
They aiiite I cant get with the design but that’s all good.
Like the concept but easy pass
Agreed. The concept is dope for sure. But passing personally.
These are stupid fire wtf
To me I think they only look good with shorts 🤷🏾♂️
That’s what she said
cant fade them
Woven Nike check and we would have been good. Going around the toe box was doing too much.
I agree!!!! Which Is why I passed and feel good doing so. The story on em is great though.
These are better than Kobe’s
they ok
Easiest cop ever
You call orange, yellow twice.....dam man
This shoe looks like a baseball.
Everybody don’t like some shit til release day 😂😂😂at this point people shouldn’t even talk about what they like&dont like just buy the shit
Pass....
🎉👟👟🔥🔥🔥
Pass 😉
I think these might go to the same pile you got sick of.
8:50 was that scripted? lol
These are great, but the Elevates are garbage lol
