If Travis Scott made this collab everyone would of been like "Travis is comes up with the nost unique sneakers, ill buy 300 pairs so people who work hard to get a pair for retail wont be able too, so theyll have to pay $500 to me instead!!"

Collaborations will never die. The stories people tell through these collaborations pump new life into the brand and are essential in the brand connecting to the consumer in ways that they cannot do alone. Those complaining about collaborations being “dead” were never buying shoes for their own interests to begin with and only concerned with getting cool points for having an expensive/hype shoe. Everything isn’t for everyone, and that’s okay. Moral of the story is buy what you like.
To the ones not liking this pair will eventually change their mind when they see them in person. Crazy nice materials and build quality. Be you, buy what you like, and enjoy them. I'll keep a long story short. I was the first person in my junior high, 1996, That rocked the Jordan 11 Concord. Some of my friends started to make fun of me because they said they look like tap dancing shoes. Approximately two to three weeks later, EVERYONE and their mama went to cop them. That was such a different shoe during that time and look what it has become. An absolute beast of a grail And one of the best Jordans ever created. 💯 I think these are different, they are fresh, And they will definitely grow on you and the community. Facts.
It’s interesting that ppl are so drawn to whatever everyone else likes that a truly polarising shoe like this gets them all rattled and afraid to wear them.
gotta love how collaborations are SUPPOSED to be innovative and different but as soon as something truly different comes up, it's clowned and hated by the sneaker community. But ngl I'm probably just biased because I love this shoe and wanna hit lol
Coz usually they can't dress up. 😂 People with creativity will already have ideas on how to style it. These people will satisfied with just bball jersey and shorts 😂 thats why they need some safe design coz they can't dress themselves
Yassss!!! This is exactly what I've been saying. All the whining about NIKE not doing anything different then they do something different and people are upset it doesn't look like what they has before 😂😂😂 cornballs.
The first time I saw these, I thought they were some heavy heat. Still feel the same way about them. I love how they added their own twist along with the story of the shoe, something different for once. Collaborations are a way of expressing ideas and making them come to life, and Union x BBS x Jordan did a great job making it happen. Without that knitting, they'd just be a white an all white Jordan 1, nothing special, and people will start complaining about that. Can't please everyone, but to each their own. Union did an amazing job on these joints.
this shoe is so DOPE! took L's on all raffles and bought the thing now on stock-x. bought two shirts, the cargo and the shorts too of the drop. love it!
I love the fact the poll is split like that. When I first saw these I wasn’t immediately sold but I didn’t hate them. The more images I saw the less jarring the woven part looked to me and the more I could appreciate it all together instead of just zoning in on that. I actually really like these now. Completely understand the ratings though
Sneaker Collabs aren't ending but I feel the inherent hype of a collab will be less effective in selling a shoe. It used to be any collab on any mildly loved shoe = crazy resell value. Now it'll be judged by the shoe design and meaning of the collab. On a side note I think these are fire, but that's just cause I love weird shoes like the AdifomQ, The Crazy Infinity, and the off-white Air Force Mids.
I mean Maison Chateau Rouge collaboration on the Jordan 2 is still an amazing elevated pair form last year. Nike need to put more shine on lesser known fashion personalities and give them their chance instead of milking household names like they keep doing.
DJ love this pair… us old heads love the nod with the foot scape…. I remember the offwhite Chicago sitting in UK 🇬🇧 when released….. not comparable but people thought it was a Frankenstein shoe….I would love a pair for the collection…. Besides love the cap merch…. Look forward to your honest reviews … uk 🇬🇧 fan !
If the subject is the possible end of collabs, the beyond stupid Travis Scott Utopia airforce 1 should have been in focus. But collabs will continue and have their ups and downs. The Balvin x AJ3 Medellín Sunset is pretty dope.
I think this shoes is truly defined what we called “collaboration”, however ppl talk about the reselling price nowadays instead of the nature of collaboration itself, kinda sad though but lets see what will happen when Nike re issue woven footscape
What are you talking about?? You complain that every cooperation is always the same, and at the same time you have something completely new in front of you? Union and BBS doing something different here, and people still complaining?
It’s def a conversational piece, this damn near the most talked about shoe this year so far rather it’s good or bad…thats great art at the end of the day, rather it bricks or not
Just got my pair this week from Union, tbh these collaborators are trying to tell a story that means to them 1st then hopefully the consumer can relate and appreciate the story behind the design. In this particular release, they used premium materials + using the woven design from the Nike footscape. Personally i like them and will rock them.
I love the colorway. The woven part is a little polarizing. Sometimes I look at the shoe and I’m like eh, but the other items I see it and I’m like that’s kinda hard. I copped off the union site and I’m very happy with it, I might actually try to double up and go for them on snkrs tomorrow. With yellow or teal laces… 😮💨
For me, im not digging the Union collab, but if you rock them with confidence, thats awesome. Everyone has their own unique and cool style. I respect that.
Me personally I think they dope, people that only follow the hype are not gonna like them cause they ain’t gonna be 1,000 plus I love this time in sneaker culture where nothing going for a lot of bread I can cop what I want
I think this is going to swing in the direction of more people jumping on board. People don't remember yeezy slides sat for a full week on YS and Adidas the first drop. I know this because I purchased 25 pairs and saw them sitting for a full week after and still not sell out. Not anymore
It is exhausting. But Union tries something new every chance they get so I’ll always have appreciation for them. This also makes Kanye’s run incredible. He was innovative and didn’t need to jump on the Jordan Legacy piggeyback to get his designs off the ground. Virgil also got the whole Vintage/deconstructed Meta going to this day and he’s not even alive anymore. Just not many innovators in todays space, but somehow everyone’s getting a collab though.
I secured my size on the Union website yesterday. I like them and wanted them. I love the story and think it is a dope/different shoe! But I can’t lie, they did grow on me from the first images. At first I wasn’t feeling them.
Have both Storm Blue and Black Toe Unions. Just copped these a few days ago. I like them. I think Nike forced the woven design on them because of the recent Footscapes dropping, but aside from that, I love the execution and the colors. Glad resale is near below retail. More pairs for everyone.
Been taking L after L on the Kobe’s and now these however I had forgot I told my girl to enter the raffle for me on these and she hit for me lol so I was surprised and now I’m excited these are dope.
It’s interesting that ppl are so drawn to whatever everyone else likes that a truly polarising shoe like this gets them all rattled and afraid to wear them.
The heel collar is the exactly same as the black toe unions, I barely noticed that. And I don’t mean to correct u bro, but the housing imagery is of some project apartments in NY.
Managed to hit on union, Didn't like them when they first leaked and I dubbed them the stretch mark 1s. Not sure if my opinion will change once i have it in hand As far as collaborations go they need to limit them to 1 shoe a year imo
So I’ll have to admit, I hated the new union 1 at first, like I’m the type of person I have to see an in hand look at the shoe to really make my decision if I like it or not, and when they put out the first pics I hated it, said they were ugly and everything, but now seeing you actually show them in hand I’m kinda eating my words lol like I hate that I like this shoe now😂😂 I just like the hits that make it different; the box, the zigzag stitching, all the shit that normal ones don’t have
I don’t hate it. However, they could have killed it with keeping the same concept as the OG’s and switching the colors. It could have been a NY to LA concept to represent their love. I also think a Royal and Chicago mash up would be the ultimate grail for a lot. Thing is if they repeated the concept 2 more color ways and stop. Jordan / Nike loves to beat a dead horse
If anything this is good for collaboration, add some unique twists to the shoe to make them recognizable, instead of just slapping the word brand name on a copy and paste shoe
The embossed wings logo, the BBS looks like a bit more quality overall. Excited to get my pair in, love that they actually did something original with the 1
Compared to the Union 2's/AJKO those are examples of a collab just for the sake of a collab. But the storytelling and twist is what collars are for - something the brand wouldn't do by themselves
I actually like these better. Like the story, the footscape details, this is a dope shoe. The other pairs are dope too, but really no thought went into them. They just mixmatched some OG pairs. The main reason everyone like the first pairs is that their cut like the OG 1s!
BIG FACTS. Just because it has the Union branding y’all are fake loving it. Y’all hated it at first and it’s “gRoWn On YoU” because social media told you to like it.
Absolutely right!!! I've been in the game for more than 20 years. We've always copped what we like. Now it's like you get clowned for that!! Didn't matter what shoe we wore, if they were dope people would shout them out!! Now you get clowned unless you rocking some 1s, 4s, or dunks and so called "sneakerheads" wear the hell out of Jay 1 lows now, but everyone talked shit about them up until like 2020, now people are like "I've always loved 1 lows", well if you did, then you would of had a pair up until 2021!!! Freaking idiots
People that hate on these shop at resale shops with walls of dunks and mids, claim they rocked 4s before the hype, and call any shoe with out resale value are trash. Colabs should be about the originality and story, and I feel this checks both boxes.
i just got into shoes basically 4 days ago. i like these alot and luckily enough they are really cheap comparatively. i do like these better than the other ones. i like different stuff than most though. i just ordered the lava glow and volt jordan lows to give you an idea. that lava glow is simply sick. i like loud in your face colors though. i just ordered these off goat as well. my nex buy will be lost and founds. im also going to get a pair of what the paul dunks as well. ill laugh my ass off if the value of these skyrocket. then everyone will want them lol. this to me is a real collaboration. they truly came up w a unique and personal design. ill be keeping mine bnib for sure. it usually works out as no one likes something at first. then a yr or 2 later everyone all of a sudden loves it.
Bought these early on sole steals for 380 watched my size sit for 30 min on union but idgaf got my girl her pair of elevate on union already have mine cause I actually like them and didn’t know how hard they were gonna be at release so still happy with my purchase but wish I was patient
I have the same sentiments.. my size 12 sold out in 3 minutes tho on union and my pair from sole steals came in yesterday and are fire so I’m cool with the decision to cop early.. and if I don’t hit on SNKRS tomorrow then I’ll be super happy with being impatient lol
@@youngcity205 I was born in summer of 96 too so on top of me already liking the kick I had to have for that reason the quality and look on these are fire my homies called them trash and I said you ain’t wearing them are y’all 😂
The new collab is better. what's the point of a collab if you can barely tell the difference between it and the original versions? It doesn't make much sense to me. Might as well get the original. Hopefully too many people won't be interested in it so that the price can remain low.
Great and detailed review! I love this shoe. Im glad it was easy to hit on the Union site. The woven part is what I love most about this shoe. Without it, they would be so plain. Basically a Vibration of Naija (not a bad shoe, but pretty plain). I hope everyone who wants will cop.
Bro I thought these ugly af when I first seen em… not gonna lie though, they’re growing on me the more I see em lol. I just might have to pick up a pair and try em on.
Just to correct your history. Union was not founded by Chris Gibbs. The original is James Jebbia (Supreme) and Eddie Cruz (Undefeated). It was sold to Chris later in the years.
Colabs as a whole aren’t dead, Jordan Colabs are…. If it’s not a 1,3, or 4 it doesn’t have the same cashe. Jordan brand is only alive on Colabs and retros, if the wave keeps on trend we will see Jordan retros become outlet specials like the they did during the knit runner days.
Only if it didn't have that Braid, it would be so fire but I still somewhat like it because of the colors. I appreciate the homage to Black hair with the braid as it is a dope reference to hair stylists but....damn, it would be so clean without it.
Personally I think the new shoe is dope and the first collaboration is boring in my opinion….. the new shoe is FINALLY something fresh and different with a new design and texture!!! OG shoes are fine for those that like them but I’m honestly tired of the OG color ways and design. I wish/hope they never stop doing collaboration so we can continue to get fresh ideas and new looks!!
Hi DJ I was curious about your thoughts on using wooden shoe trees. They’re recommended in all leather dress shoes but could they be beneficial for sneakers? My concern is that cedar shoe trees would dry out the inside of shoes.
Limit 1-2 collabs per brand…it’s like how JB ceased other designs after several models, it’s not something that should become dragged out for years and years on end.
Nah lol keep dropping why should something be limited just for the sake of it lol if you want something expensive and bojuee go buy designer I love collabs and how less expensive they are
Let's just hope these will go for under retail in a few months, so I can snag'm. Come on don't tell me you bought more then 10 to resell'm? Even the Rattan better then these... and those are 2's.❤

The black toe is just a low with the high sewn on top to make it a high. Never been a fan 🤷♂️
You should’ve done it with the AF1 Utopia and not these since the AF1 Utopias are the trashiest collabs in my book.
Af1 utopia trash. Just a basic boring af1 with gold sharpie written on it

Only if it didn't have that Braid, it would be so fire but I still somewhat like it because of the colors. I appreciate the homage to Black hair with the braid as it is a dope reference to hair stylists but....damn, it would be so clean without it.
These shetz dopee!
Sequels rarely are better than the originals. Nuff said
Love these shoes if a Travis Scott jordan 1 is worth a $1000 then these are worth double that in my mind i absolutely am crazy for these kicks
Personally I think the new shoe is dope and the first collaboration is boring in my opinion….. the new shoe is FINALLY something fresh and different with a new design and texture!!! OG shoes are fine for those that like them but I’m honestly tired of the OG color ways and design. I wish/hope they never stop doing collaboration so we can continue to get fresh ideas and new looks!!
People talked crap about the guava 4s too now look
How much for Jordan 5 Retro
Florida Gators PE or Jordan 1 Retro High
Florida Gators PE (2020)
Definitely fire
its actually really unique im not a fan of the yellow
Mah men please review jordan 1 high palomino, they calling it “the wanna be travis scott pair” ❤
Hi DJ I was curious about your thoughts on using wooden shoe trees. They’re recommended in all leather dress shoes but could they be beneficial for sneakers?
My concern is that cedar shoe trees would dry out the inside of shoes.
No a Fan of theses not my cup of tea but I like the backstory great review DJ
Personally, these are dope! Already secured my double up from union!
Limit 1-2 collabs per brand…it’s like how JB ceased other designs after several models, it’s not something that should become dragged out for years and years on end.
Nah lol keep dropping why should something be limited just for the sake of it lol if you want something expensive and bojuee go buy designer I love collabs and how less expensive they are
@@matador2554never said I wanted something expensive, all I said was it should not be overdone and water downed where its just another GR.
I don’t hate them but don’t love them, just disappointed and it’s just a meh shoe.
That shoes is fire bro don’t know what y’all talking about it looks nice on feet 😂
Got em under retail. Lol
