Air Jordan 1 x UNION LA Thread

Does t surprise me with the weird clear plastic toe box

My kobe IV Had that same type material and yellowed over time especially if it has poor ventilation and lots of sweat and humidity

Personally, I like the BT pair better, but I think If I were to spend "resale" on these, I would go with the Blue, because I feel there are are lot of substitutes from a profile standpoint for the BT with the Bred Toes, Black/Red's, Regular Black Toe's etc....

PO

Can anyone here do a quick comparison? Not sure if these are legit. Thanks!

If that's how the UNC's are gonna age than I might as well get rid of mine

I just sold mine unc on stockx after seeing there are more unc for sale compared to the blue unions and after seeing all them yellowing pictures definitely made me realize it was a good move

I’m hoping your wrong lol but at the end unions look better and are more wearable so so no regrets over here

DS pairs will yellow just sitting in the box for long enough

Selling a shoe because it will yellow to buy a shoe, that's already yellowed is about as legit as it gets .

midsoles yellow on any 1

at least the upper wouldn't unlike the OW

sole is one thing but the toe box is another

The upper on Unions has yellowing on the edges tho and the white parts will yellow like the midsole.

When does white leather yellow?

The edges has nothing to do with it

You never worn a pair of white sneakers that lose brightness over time? They most def will yellow. Now the edges, that have nothing to do with it as you put it, are yellowed to mimick aged leather.

They will age but they will not turn a bright dark whatever yellow

Everything eventually loses its luster and ages

You made it seem like it would literally turn yellow as the OW toe boxes that were shown

goal post officially moved. You asked the above.

ok but my point is, it will likely never look like that OW toe box after a few months/year
