This is my sneaker of the year, best quality, best story telling, and I didn't have to pay crazy resell. Check check. And to me the fact that resellers can't make 500$ + per shoe is the cherry on top. Of course they are upset, they put profit over culture. Culture got the W this time.
I didn’t like them initially but took a chance and went for them, and hit. Once in hand, I can really appreciate how different they are, the different design details, and the quality of the materials. As an artist, I’m a fan of them and how they’re a break from the monotony in shoe releases.
I wasn’t feeling them at first seeing early images. But they grew on me once I seen lace swaps and heard the story to better understand the design. And I must say I copped and think they’re 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Dare to be different!
I wore my pair twice. Got a fit off with a vintage cream color button up that matched the midsole perfectly. Put some brown fitted chinos on and dressed these AJ1’s up. I think the shoes look better when you dress them up. Also, the stitching doesn’t bother me at all now. It gives a refreshing take on the AJ1 that doesn’t leave you puzzled on why Nike added the modification to the shoe.
I have never doubled up on a sneaker but this might be the first. They are super funky. There might not ever be another one like it given the mixed responses
I'm pretty new to the Sneaker world, about a year in. I hadn't doubled up, but did with these. I actually tripled up. Hit on Union, then SNKRS, then my local Social Status. I sold one pair to an IG connect but the other two are staying. I think it's a beautiful shoe and I love the story. My wife and I met in '99 and so I feel some level of connection to it as well.
Love these and been wearing the hell out of mine. Logged at least 6-7 miles in mine yesterday and they still felt fine but I’m also a person who hasn’t really ever been bothered by the comfort of any Jordan 1s.
@@bdeweese2300 was hard to squeeze my foot in initially. Once you loosen up the laces and can comfortably get in and out, they are true to size. For just like my other Jordan 1s tbh
The Storm Blue Union 1 video is in my opinion one of your best and this one is the same. You guys definitely bring out the top class energy for the Union 1s. I really liked these since the first pics man. Happy to have also gotten them for retail. Thank the sneaker gods.
Super pleased with this collab. Botters wasted their money on data trying to cop multiples and got none because of the human pass. Everyone who actually wanted these was able to get them and they are going for barely over retail so resellers are losing money. Not to mention the insane leather quality in hand. 10/10 for me. Thank you Union 🙌
So I decided to just wait it out since the sneaker market is so weird now, plus Union charges an arm and a leg to ship and takes forever to actually ship. I'm happy I waited. Just snagged a pair for $200 dropped off the other day and wow! These are just so dope in person. I also like that I haven't seen anyone rock them yet. Like they're scared or because they're not "hyped" or have no resell value to them which I think is hilarious in itself. I dumped a lot of my sneaker collection. Went from a storage unit with 200+ shoes including over 100 pairs in my closet to less than 100 pairs total in my collection now. Quality over quantity is key and just like Foamer always said, patience saves pockets. Bout to wear these today at work in the Fairfax district in LA. Cheers 🥂
Just to these out the box this weeknd they feel better than any GR Jordan maybe it’s in my head but to be completely honest the more I wear them the more I like that it’s super different than any other Jordan with the woven material. At the beginning I was like “Humm, I don’t know” but after wearing them they have to be my favorite Jordan’s right now. Might have to get another pair to keep it on Ice. The quality in them is just too insane, never seen any Jordan with this type of quality.
They made the best collab ever on a jordan with those very first J1s imo and now one of the worst. This could have been dope without those lace stiching😭
First images of this shoe I was def disappointed because of what i expected from the Union collab seeing their last two Jordan 1s. Plus just wanting to have that Union Jordan 1 in my collection. But after seeing these and opening them for the first time in hand all those doubts changed into being really stoked because it impressed me as to how great these things are in person and you can see the craftsmanship and high quality materials they put into the shoe! Overall im happy i didnt sleep on these.
As a wide foot boy who prob should be going half size up these are quite comfy. Wore these to my 9 hour shift at work and only got slight uncomfortable towards the end.
I got them and I love them. The yellow laces are a must! I’m glad resellers slept on these. Also, they are as comfortable as a regular Jordan 1. The woven pattern is on top of the usual lining on the inside of the shoe, so you can’t feel it.
Hey I love watching all the shoe reviews & especially anyones that are About the nike dunks..was wondering if you can do a review on the space tiger sb dunks? They are one of the best looking dunks no one knows about..they look just as good as the night of mischief & a touch of a galaxy looking color..they are very underrated
Buckets is definitely right, the first union Jordans 1’s had a slow start as well and now top tier. I feel this is more versatile. Definitely my Jordan one of the year. Probably my sneaker of the year. Too wearable, too easy…super 🔥. About to double up just to hold on ice… not happy about the J Balvin, looks like a orthopedic sneaker from the front with the cream color all over and little color in the back. It’s not until you see the sneaker from the back, you realize what they are. A little bit to much coconut milk for me. And I was actually excited about that release.
Imagine these had Halloween colors, then the stitch would be perfectly appropriate and look awesome. Go full Frankenstein with it. I just don’t think the stitch works with these nice colors.
I know these are different, but one you get them in hand they’ll change your mind. My pair unfortunately has small QC issues, but overall it’s such a dope shoe and the materials are way nicer than any Jordan 1 that’s come out in a while.I honestly think these are more comfortable than standard 1 highs. Love the content my guy!
While there is something to be said for being original or unique, I think they look horrible. I have thought that since the first time I saw leaked images of them last year, and I stand by that assessment. I don't care about the hype (or lack thereof), resale prices, or social media trends, I like what I like...and I don't like these at all. Glad to see that they're not too hard to acquire for those who actually like them.
These are clean and I love the story behind these with the love story and all but this was an easy pass for me for someone who's already have so many 1s I have yet to wear and been trying to cut down on my collection and being super picky with sneakers moving forward. This wasn't a must like if they would ever make OG 1 in an 85 shape kind of MUST.
Love them again from Union something different. I also love the fact that resale is not too high at present hopefully more of these find their way into the hands of people who want to wear them not resale them. Worn mine at least twice and also have the original Union Jordan 1 and many more a favourite silhouette of mine.
10 yrs from now.. They will be most wanted. I like them, they are different and unique while still being Jordan. The quality is very nice and premium. Why be boxed into a particular type of AJ1. Glad to have this in my collection. To each there own. ✌🏽
Just bought my pair for $140 AFTER FEES, i am very happy everyone hated these, as i liked them since i saw the first looks of them. I didnt have the money at the time and im glad I had to wait because i got them a decent chunk under retail and I couldnt be happier for them to come in the mail this Friday
I really want to double up but I’m just doubling up on the next chapter Spider-Man 1s so hopefully January these are still around that retail price of $225-250
I’m not gonna lie, I was absolutely not expecting Buckets to give these a “9” let alone a 9.2! I really thought he was gonna say a 7. I actually surprised by this 😂😂😂
Not gonna lie if it wasn't for you and buckets I would of never started wearing my sneakers. And now I make sure I do the 30 days straight wear test with everything I buy. And I just got my pair of these and they will be my September October shoe
Definitely a fire shoe. Wasn't feeling them early on but after seeing them on feet something just clicked. Undeniably these are an artistic piece and something special.
It’s a collab thay actually looks like a collab. The previous didn’t really feel like collabs. If I want to buy regular Jordan 1s than I will. I don’t need light alterations.

I personally love them. Also an artist and they kinda just fit the vibe. I might get a second pair if anything.
Just picked up a pair for 80 bucks DS they come with any extra laces I think they are a funky shie

Thanks for the review and note on the sidney poitier logo. This helped me decide to cop a pair and can’t wait to rock them. 🤙
Took my pair forever to arrive, but they were worth the wait. Faded mint laces later, and they are one of my favorite releases this year!
Love these and been wearing the hell out of mine. Logged at least 6-7 miles in mine yesterday and they still felt fine but I’m also a person who hasn’t really ever been bothered by the comfort of any Jordan 1s.
But are they true to size .
Do they run a bit big or a bit small?
@@bdeweese2300 was hard to squeeze my foot in initially. Once you loosen up the laces and can comfortably get in and out, they are true to size. For just like my other Jordan 1s tbh
It’s not for me, but honestly that’s the best part about loving sneakers, regardless who you are. Go for what you like!
Facts bro
yes ive been waiting for this

Finally something different and unique from jordan 1
@@sonofsal5778Your 0 score equates to being a unique and absurd rating..shame on you 😂😂
@@sonofsal5778couldn’t agree more. -7 out of 10. Hot do doo
I love these…the Footscape Woven is one of my favorite shoes…the only thing I’m tired of is the “aged” midsole
I agree. Dope sneaker love my pair. I plan to rock them soon .
I copped my pair on the Union website. I'm in love with these, something different! I get compliments every time I rock them.
Copped these this week, insane collab 🔥
Super pleased with this collab. Botters wasted their money on data trying to cop multiples and got none because of the human pass. Everyone who actually wanted these was able to get them and they are going for barely over retail so resellers are losing money. Not to mention the insane leather quality in hand. 10/10 for me. Thank you Union 🙌
These are absolutely hideous. These were easy passes for me.
Congratulations on you passing on these, what an accomplishment 😂😂
Love these so much! And i ordered my dark teal laces to go with it too. 🔥
Been waiting on you guys review on this shoe 🔥
Pictures doesn’t do the truth justice of this sneaker. In hand this sneaker is🔥🔥🔥
Almost every single day is the line, Please bring that back young buckets 😂

Definitely not for me, but I respect different opinions
Buckets approved! That’s all I needed
Esperaba esta review! J1 del año para mí.. 💯
Genial trabajo el vuestro 🍻

I love these and double up on these!
I got them and I think they’re absolutely 🔥! It’s one of the shoes that are way better in hand.
*they’re
I liked these from the initial images because they were so different. I’m super glad I copped. I got some teal laces to really set them off.
Oh, and before I forget, the Corporate Air Ships are sneaker of the year.
Foam is the man for keeping it real about this sneak
3 out of 10 🗑️ 🗑️ 🗑️
They made the best collab ever on a jordan with those very first J1s imo and now one of the worst. This could have been dope without those lace stiching😭
Without the stitching it would have been a boring white and cream jordan 1
These are fire imo, at the end of the day people need to buy what they like and not let resell price’s determine if they like the shoe or not
I agree this is a great shoe most people see the resell and then they don't want bu5 definitely on my top 10 of 2023 💯🔥🔥🤷🏾♂️
Been eyeing these on resale for quite a while now. Think it’s about time to pull the trigger and snag myself a pair.
When Buckets paused for a second, I thought he was gonna up Foamer a notch on the scale, and give these a 9.75 or 10.
A must have pair dope for real...

I wore mine at braves game. They definitely turn heads. More positive comments than negative. Well no negative at all
As a wide foot boy who prob should be going half size up these are quite comfy. Wore these to my 9 hour shift at work and only got slight uncomfortable towards the end.
These and palominos are my fav 1’s by far this year
Man , I’m glad I grabbed a pair of. The quality on them is crazy .
Love it something neww from jordan❤❤
Wow first time I’ve seen buckets give a high score lol I dig them too!
Sneaker of the year is banger
Thanks Foamie for this solid review my boy ✊🏾
If you get caught in the rain with these shits your cooked.
I got them and I love them. The yellow laces are a must! I’m glad resellers slept on these.
Also, they are as comfortable as a regular Jordan 1. The woven pattern is on top of the usual lining on the inside of the shoe, so you can’t feel it.
These are super dope imo!!
Honestly surprised foamer likes the wicker basket 1s so much lol
A1 steak sauce .. straight heat rocks 🔥
This have slowly grown on me. I was indifferent at first. But after seeing on feet and then having in hand i really do like these.
Please do an update video after you wear them in the future!!! I’m really curious how they will feel & hold up after some wear…
Hey I love watching all the shoe reviews & especially anyones that are About the nike dunks..was wondering if you can do a review on the space tiger sb dunks? They are one of the best looking dunks no one knows about..they look just as good as the night of mischief & a touch of a galaxy looking color..they are very underrated
These are Awesome. Def will be in my top 10 sneakers of the year.

Been rocking them none stop since I got them
It's a cool looking sneaker, but not at all my thing. I think they're perfect for the "Aime Leon Dore" type person
"The resell price doesn't correlate with how dope a sneaker is!!" Words from a wise man!!!
My favorite show that I own currently. Super clean. I’m glad it wasn’t heavily sought after
I know these are different, but one you get them in hand they’ll change your mind.

Still do not understand why people do not like these. I just go my pair from stock x below retail, that blows my mind!

Super clean, but wish the swoosh was green.
Got them in hand and ❤ them
I love these so much, I have 3 of them 😂
Sneaker of the year for me. Copped on SNKRS, worn them a few times now and put some miles on them and they are super comfy.
Got em through Union too, super fire! SOTY IMO
I doubled up on these. One went straight to feet the other didn’t even make it out the shipping box 🥰😍
Just bought my pair for $140 AFTER FEES, i am very happy everyone hated these, as i liked them since i saw the first looks of them. I didnt have the money at the time and im glad I had to wait because i got them a decent chunk under retail and I couldnt be happier for them to come in the mail this Friday
I'm gonna double up by March also so I have a fresh pair for my bday lol
I slept 😴 at 1st but woke up the color combo on these and story behind them Hit I had too kop after all
Got 'em. Love 'em!
I really want to double up but I’m just doubling up on the next chapter Spider-Man 1s so hopefully January these are still around that retail price of $225-250
I’m not gonna lie, I was absolutely not expecting Buckets to give these a “9” let alone a 9.2! I really thought he was gonna say a 7. I actually surprised by this 😂😂😂
I wish they made them 30 years ago. It would have been a lot better if it was nostalgic
BUCKETS WITH A 9.25 seeshhh
1+1
Those are rough. Easy pass.
Aww sorry they are rough to you 😂😂
Not gonna lie if it wasn't for you and buckets I would of never started wearing my sneakers. And now I make sure I do the 30 days straight wear test with everything I buy. And I just got my pair of these and they will be my September October shoe

They are not that good I'll #Pass
They look good from the top. The woven should've been white instead of sail/tan.💖
The only thing I don't like about them is how they fit. The woven part flares out and looks weird.
9.25 #buckets to the next decimal. Let’s go!
Hopefully all that truly wanted the shoe was able to cop...one of the easiest passes for me this year
Good for you on passing on these sneakers, what am accomplishment 😂
Just got my hands on a pair for $70. I had to see in hand… damn I wrong! Theses are 🔥
Personally not my flavor but I respect the fact it hits with ppl.
