FAQs

What makes the Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High OG SP 'Chicago Shadow' unique?

Its uniqueness stems from the blend of the 'Chicago' and 'Shadow' colorways, a vintage pre-yellowed midsole, and a deconstructed 'DIY' aesthetic featuring zigzag stitching on the collars.

What materials are used in these trainers?

The trainers primarily feature a high-quality leather upper, consistent with premium Air Jordan 1 releases.

When was this shoe released?

The release date for this specific iteration is February 28, 2025.

Are these trainers suitable for playing basketball?

No, these are lifestyle sneakers designed for fashion and collection. They are not engineered for the performance demands of basketball.

How should I clean the vintage-looking midsole?

Clean the pre-yellowed midsole gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this is an intentional design feature.

What does 'pre-yellowed midsole' mean?

It means the midsole has been treated or manufactured to have a slightly aged, yellowed appearance, mimicking the look of vintage sneakers.

Where can I find other sizes?

You can check for other available sizes through the variant siblings listed, which include various UK sizes. For specific availability, please refer to the product listing.

Troubleshooting

Uneven stitching or minor imperfections

This is often a characteristic of the 'DIY aesthetic' and intentional design. Minor variations in stitching, particularly on the collar, are part of the shoe's unique appeal and not a defect.

Creasing on the leather

Creasing is natural with leather footwear, especially after wear. To minimize creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees for storage.

Yellowing of the midsole appears to be fading or uneven

The pre-yellowed effect is a deliberate design choice for a vintage look. If the yellowing seems inconsistent or you wish to preserve it, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and clean gently.
