The Air Jordan 1 hype has slowed considerably as we enter the middle part of the 2020s, but high-energy collaborations still bring sneakerheads out of the woodwork trying to cop. This was the case with the recent Union LA x Air Jordan 1 High Chicago Shadow, and will also be the case with the LA-based label’s three-way collab with Hiroshi Fujiwara’s fragment design. Following early looks at sample versions of their AJ 1 project, a Fujiwara was just spotted wearing a White Black version of the sneaker.
The pair, which coats the sneaker in a clean two-tone white and black finish, opts for colorblocking akin to fragment’s Air Jordan 1 collaboration with Travis Scott. White leather panels land on the mudguard, eyelets, midfoot, and collar underlay, while black hues are present on the toebox, collar overlay, Swoosh, and heel overlay. Reworked details found on other Union LA AJ 1s, like the oversized Wings logo, extra stitching, and UN/LA-branded tag on the collar, are present on this pair.
Of course, fragment design makes its presence known through the unique colorblocking, and the lightning bolt logo debossed into the lateral heel. Tooling codes are stamped onto the midsole, which comes in white. Finishing the design is the black rubber outsole.
The fragment design x Union LA x Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG White Black will be released exclusively at five different stores, including Undefeated (NYC), HEADQUARTER (Mexico City), fragment (Tokyo), Starcow (Paris), and Kasina (Seoul), in February 2026. Available in men's sizing, the retail price is set at $205.
