DID THEY RUIN THESE JORDAN 1 SNEAKERS?! (I Think Not…) 

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!

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.

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. 🤙

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.

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

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 so much! And i ordered my dark teal laces to go with it too. 🔥

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.

Been waiting on you guys review on this shoe 🔥

Copped these this week, insane collab 🔥

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.

Esperaba esta review! J1 del año para mí.. 💯 Genial trabajo el vuestro 🍻

I copped my pair on the Union website. I'm in love with these, something different! I get compliments every time I rock them.

yes ive been waiting for this

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

I love these and double up on these!

Buckets approved! That’s all I needed

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.

I agree. Dope sneaker love my pair. I plan to rock them soon .

I love these…the Footscape Woven is one of my favorite shoes…the only thing I’m tired of is the “aged” midsole

Thanks Foamie for this solid review my boy ✊🏾

Been eyeing these on resale for quite a while now. Think it’s about time to pull the trigger and snag myself a pair.

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.

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.

A must have pair dope for real...

Finally something different and unique from jordan 1

Almost every single day is the line, Please bring that back young buckets 😂

These are super dope imo!!

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 🥂

Passed

It’s not for me, but honestly that’s the best part about loving sneakers, regardless who you are. Go for what you like!

Love it something neww from jordan❤❤

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.

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.

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…

These are Awesome. Def will be in my top 10 sneakers of the year.

These and palominos are my fav 1’s by far this year

Wow first time I’ve seen buckets give a high score lol I dig them too!

Man , I’m glad I grabbed a pair of. The quality on them is crazy .

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.

Foam is the man for keeping it real about this sneak

Best 1’s of the year!!!

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!

Been rocking them none stop since I got them

Honestly surprised foamer likes the wicker basket 1s so much lol

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.

Got em through Union too, super fire! SOTY IMO

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.

A1 steak sauce .. straight heat rocks 🔥

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 love these so much, I have 3 of them 😂

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.

Sneaker of the year is banger

I got them and I think they’re absolutely 🔥! It’s one of the shoes that are way better in hand.

My favorite show that I own currently. Super clean. I’m glad it wasn’t heavily sought after

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.

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.

In hand, the materials they are pure 🔥 .

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.

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 💯🔥🔥🤷🏾‍♂️

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 slept 😴 at 1st but woke up the color combo on these and story behind them Hit I had too kop after all

Oh, and before I forget, the Corporate Air Ships are sneaker of the year.

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. ✌🏽

I doubled up on these. One went straight to feet the other didn’t even make it out the shipping box 🥰😍

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 cool looking sneaker, but not at all my thing. I think they're perfect for the "Aime Leon Dore" type person

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😭

I wore mine at braves game. They definitely turn heads. More positive comments than negative. Well no negative at all

Fantastic ❤

BUCKETS WITH A 9.25 seeshhh

If the rope lacing detail ended before the toe I’d like them.

Definitely not for me, but I respect different opinions

Got them in hand and ❤ them

Super clean, but wish the swoosh was green.

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.

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

These are hideous easiest pass in my life, but the box is 🔥

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

Pictures doesn’t do the truth justice of this sneaker. In hand this sneaker is🔥🔥🔥

1+1

Love these I hit on 2 pairs

If you get caught in the rain with these shits your cooked.

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

"The resell price doesn't correlate with how dope a sneaker is!!" Words from a wise man!!!

I love my pair!

9.25 #buckets to the next decimal. Let’s go!

They look good from the top. The woven should've been white instead of sail/tan.💖

Love this shoe

Love mine…quality is 🔥

Do a life test!!!

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 got em they r fire reminds me of mexican huaraches 🩴 🇲🇽

I would have never considered buying the shoes, but I am intrigued now. I think they look like trash, but maybe in hand, I would feel different. I love Jordan ones they are my favorite by far.

🔥

Fire shoes. People now days only goes for the resale price

I wish they made them 30 years ago. It would have been a lot better if it was nostalgic
