Union x Jordan

Union owner Chris Gibbs, has joined forces with Jordan Brand’s designers for a vintage-styled Air Jordan footwear and apparel capsule. “We’re referencing an era, late ’80s early ’90s,” explains Gibbs. Gibbs frequents Los Angeles-area flea markets and vintage stores and is thus familiar with the Jordan touch points of his youth and how those have aged over time. “The Jordan stuff I wear now is like if I go to a vintage market and I find some really old stuff that’s kind of patinated or weathered in,” he says. “To me, the vintage nature of it allows you to kind of wear it outside of its intended purpose.” Taking Union’s reputation for elevated taste and commitment to quality fabrics and construction, the Union x Air Jordan collection carefully captures that transcendence. The collection, which also features T-shirts, sweatshirts and pants, has been washed and distressed to perfectly match the era that Union wanted to reference. The Union x Air Jordan capsule releases November 17.
