Trash

How the **** did multiple people design these, go through multiple design meetings, and still decide this is the final product? How is there not some realization that they’re releasing garbage?

Welp these are still the best union collab dont @ me

 

[airthompson]

two things, we just got the Natural grey blocking in the following:
‘15 OG low, ‘85 Retro High, ‘21 Low, Union grey AJKOs low, upcoming ‘85 Retro OG low.

Give predominantly white w grey swoosh blocking a break

Ol leather face looking joints. People will buy cuz it’s Union. These are not it.

I love 1s. I love woven footscapes. I hate these unions.

2pacalypsenow early-mid 2000s saw a lot of weird nikes like that. I think the first footscape woven dropped in 2005 or 2006. There was an OG footscape sole (from the 1996 runner) with a fully woven upper, and then the low top that we're used to seeing now. The HTM triage was a big fan of those weird nike silhouettes (including the creation of the 2002 air woven) and brought the first woven upper to a footscape sole. Around 2011 or 12, they changed the sole on footscapes to a "motion" sole borrowing from nike Free technology and also started making mid top chukkas. The nike considered line also used a similar kind of weave pattern on a few shoes in the late 2000s.

I don't know who the actual designer of the footscape woven is or what the direct inspiration is. If someone does please fill me in.

thanks for the story . My bad, my initial question was why did they use the woven footscape weavein this collab? Same motion as the footscapes too, i guess we'll wait until they officially release their press.

i may be the only one in on these so far because i'll get anything neutral grey one related (except for those AJKO collab)

You're 100% right IMO. I also think that these are the best Union ever! I LOVE the Black Toe Union 1s!

Naw, I'm with you. I don't do Low 1s, so any 1 Low (AJKO included) is an instant pass for me, but I love the NG 1 and therefore these are a must. These are a unique yet dope twist on the NG 1 IMO.

It’s time to put these collabs with the same places over and over again to bed. Yikes.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Surprised how y’all can clown on these but still own the KO lows tbh

 

[jdilla14]

I ain't going to hate on them until we see the final product, I'm a sucker for white shoes as it is but hopefully those aren't the final final

 

[spoonmanofthehour]

I’m taking names on who likes these pieces of trash.

iwilwin will be all over these with a pair of Dickie’s.

Bro thats it.

I know you wish it wasnt but thats pretty much the product

Unless this is the first time in sneaker history JB pulls the okie doke, which i don't think was ever done before

KO lows don’t have baseball stitching going through the middle of the shoe

Mark me down then. I’m in now, and can’t wait to grab them.

 

[Lucky13s]

I might cop em just to piss y’all off.

 

[Neocortex]

Ngl I started laughing my *** off after I saw official pictures of these and then thought about what NT would say

Don't own those, but those are way better than these so idk what the correlation is

 

[staffsgtdignam]

Same tier. I ain lying.

Both peaked in 2018. Sean's problem is he left the area he got all his inspiration from in the first place. Should've never did RVA like that.

uhh isn’t Sean an outspoken anti-vaxxer? How is he the same tier as Union, dude is using his platform to spread his insane beliefs lol

You joke but I could still see these selling out and going for over retail.

Why did Union put BS on the back tab

Politics don't have anything to do with shoe design.

Only 1 colorway this time as per Unloved 1s. Also it's a Union X Bephies Beauty Supply collab the time, not just Union.

I call big bull **** BBS 1s
