I think if you already have one of the 2, I would keep it and buy the other. But if you had neither and could only choose 1 to get, I'd say Unions.

But I’d prolly choose the union if I didn’t own either pair.

That’s awesome. I ordered a pair from StockX on Friday and the seller still hasn’t shipped them.

In terms of quality are these on par or better than SBBs?

I still need to get some green laces but cant ever find anybody wanting to sell and I refuse to buy the knockoffs that say "shoelaces" will prolly just end up grabbing some reg lime green laces

I know and they're selling out and ****They’re buying up knockoffs left and right in the OW thread
and that's cool if that's what you like but it's not for me. If they were just teal lace I would have no problem lol

They're very different imo; SBB are super plush/soft, whereas Unions have nice thick leather, but isn't overly soft.

I personally think the Frag leather is better than the Unions. Don't have SBB tho

I feel overall construction of unions is better but you're descriptions are right on

Idk about “quality” on these. The black leather is the same stuff they’ve been putting on everything and the white isn’t anything special. Maybe just the thicker cuts?

It could be, but I’m in the LA area and so is GOAT. The seller probably was too.

Damn that sucks. I ordered something else from StockX this past weekend and it gave me an expected delivery date of March 11. Idk why everything there always seems slower.

I feel like the SBB have the better leather quality, but only on the orange leather parts. White/cream is generic tumble leather they use on all those coloured toe shoes and the black leather is the garbage remastered 1s leather
Whereas unions do not have that bad black leather anywhere but doesn't feature any leather as good as the SBB's orange. The Unions have the same white/cream tumbled leather and the toe box leather + eyelets is a very nice thick leather cut.
