And to think… Some people here are trying to talk themselves out of those.

 

[gokublack]

Way better than the other yellow pair

I personally love them (the Taupes), second only to the Noirs to me, but people have different views. Shoe preferences are literally the definition of subjective.

lol you almost talked yourself out of them too. I'm glad you came back around

we're not talking ourselves out of anything. union made that decision for us. we take what we can get.

 

[3god]

That’s part of it. People are just hurt they didn’t get a decent chance at Taupes. Don’t take it out on the shoe.

 

[jordanhead718212]

Yeah, the "this colorway is only more popular because it resells for more" argument has never made sense to me

Folded tongue looks so weird to me, especially on such a already tame shoe with bright highlights.

 

[larfboy]

unleash the beast.

Already have the Noirs, REALLY want the Taupes but prices on the size 13s are insane. I loved the Desert Moss pair too and I just traded for them locally. Traded my Khaki Travis Scott 6 (which I hit on SNKRS and honestly didn't really love) for the Desert Moss Union 4 straight up. I'm pleased.

Oooh....that's an interesting trade. I have those Travis' and could go for that. Though for any of the other Union 4s; not sure I could pull of the Moss', even though they're growing on me in some of these pics.

 

[AllGrails]

Those BKTravis are a women’s shoe to me., rose gold.
Nice trade.

you using sneaker shields with those??? no creases at all unless you just rocked them for the pick. The mesh toe box is what i loved about the first round of Union 4s. This canvas material looks dope but, the crease potential is annoying. I'm talking first step creasing with some people i know. I'm cool with creasing but, over time, not immediately lol

 

[MotownSole]

I love all of the pics of people wearing their shoes! I’m going to get the courage to undeadstock mine soon.

me too. those immediate creases got me hesitating though. creases with age are cool but not straight out the womb

 

[MotownSole]

same prob here. I hit on these for retail at a half size up but the squeeze is real. its such a unique pair though and I really wanna wear them (my first union)

copped a second pair off GOAT for $525 all in (11.5). if they work ima throw some cream laces in them and prob sit on the other pair for a bit.

edit: my GOAT purchase shipped immediately, and it’s coming from LA. I’m guessing that means it’s a Flight Club pair. can anyone confirm?

Local consignment store in Michigan allowed me to try on a pair when I was shopping for my Off Noirs. Thank God for those cats. They only had an 11 (my TTS) and 11.5. Both were very narrow and would not have been fun to wear. So I ordered the 11.5 off GOAT hoping the full size up wouldn't be too much. They worked out perfectly. Ordered an 11.5 in the Desert Moss because I heard they were longer and wider. Welp, those got stolen (thanks FedEx for shipping me an empty shoe box). eBay came through in the cluch and issued a full refund within 2 days. Copped the size 12 off StockX and they are definitely longer than the first round of Union 4's but, just as narrow. The Size 12 worked out though because with the extra length I can add a sneaker shield to battle against some of that creasing.

 

[MotownSole]

threw on purple laces from Court Purple 1’s.

thinking either that or cream laces

purple laces are dope. got me thinking about tie dying a pair in yellow or sky blue.

So then only bust them out for special occasions. Or live with the crease

 

[3god]

At still being afraid of a creased toe. You got people dropping kicks with cracked midsoles and some are still afraid of a little crease. Go barefoot then.

 

[AllGrails]

My unions have the slightest crease and I’m glad they do. Creases are what makes it yours. My royals fit like socks at this point!
