Union LA and J Brand expand their AJ1 High OG lineup in 2025 with a new colorway inspired by thrifting and DIY culture. The release blends elements of the classic “Chicago” and “Shadow” colorways in a palette of Varsity Red, Black, Sail, Shadow Grey, and Muslin. Echoing the “Black Toe” and “Storm Blue” pairs, the design features a pre-yellowed midsole for a vintage touch. A mismatched collar, attached with zigzag stitching, adds a handcrafted, makeshift aesthetic to this unique take on the iconic silhouette.
