We’re not going to lie to you. Put a Union logo somewhere on these sneakers and we’d 100% believe you if you told us that this Air Jordan 1 Low is a collaboration with Union. That fact of the matter is that it’s actually not a Union collab, it’s actually dubbed the Air Jordan 1 Low SE Tokyo Vintage.
The Air Jordan 1 Low SE Tokyo Vintage comes dressed in the colors of Michael Jordan’s alma mater, the University of North Carolina, while also paying tribute to the 1996 “Nike Hoop Heroes” event during MJ’s first visit to Japan. Aside from MJ, the event also featured Charles Barkley, Jason Kidd, Michael Finley, Damon Stoudamire, and special guest Carl Lewis. During that event, a kid in a UNC uniform got the opportunity to play 1-on-1 against MJ (see picture below), who was wearing the Air Jordan 12s. The lizard skin Swoosh on these Jordan 1 Lows are is a nod to the pair Jordan wore at the event. The kid, Keijuro Matsui, is now 37 years old and still plays pro basketball till this day. Closet to 27 years later, Jordan Brand pays homage to the excitement of that day with this special release.
The Air Jordan 1 Low is highlighted by its split-colored color blocking, exposed foam tongues, aged midsoles, Off-White laces and textured Swooshes. Done in a White, Grey and Blue color scheme, taking a closer look you will find Yellow Wings on the heels, Jumpman branding on the tongues and a mixed material construction.
The Air Jordan 1 Low SE Tokyo Vintage is set to release on March 25th at Tokyo 23 and atmos locations for the retail price of $120. For a complete guide including official photos, release dates, pricing and where to buy, visit: Air Jordan 1 Low SE Tokyo Vintage.
