Merging past and present with effortless cool, the Jordan 1 Retro Union LA Chicago Shadow reimagines two of the most iconic Air Jordan 1 colorways—Chicago and Shadow—through Union LA’s masterful design lens. This striking collaboration, released on February 27, 2025, showcases Union’s signature fusion style: bold, nostalgic, and undeniably fresh.
The upper combines the red-and-white leather foundation of the classic “Chicago” with the moody black and grey hues of the “Shadow” around the collar and heel. University Blue exposed stitching makes the transition between sections intentionally visible, celebrating the craftsmanship and intentional imperfection that defines Union’s aesthetic.
Aged details complete the vintage vibe—from the sail-colored midsole to the foam-exposed tongue edges and the retro-inspired tongue tag. The yellow Union LA tag stitched onto the collar adds that unmistakable collaborative flair, while dual lace options encourage creative self-expression.
Retailing at $200, the Jordan 1 Chicago Shadow isn’t just a blend of colorways—it’s a clash of eras brought into harmony by one of streetwear’s most respected voices. This pair continues Union LA’s reputation for transforming retro Jordans into storytelling pieces that collectors and enthusiasts won’t want to miss.
