Update January 6, 2023: Further images of the upcoming Union x Air Jordan 1 KO collaboration have arrived, thanks to @yankeekicks and @prvt.selection.​

Union’s ongoing Jordan Brand partnership seems to be continuing into 2023 with an early look at a supposed Air Jordan 1 KO collaboration. Let’s address something: it’s something of a misnomer to call this an ‘Air’ Jordan as it doesn’t feature the namesake technology, but it seems to be the preceding name for this model these days. Furthermore, as the images allude to, it’s officially called the AJKO.

Anyway, in these shots shared by @beechkicks_, the Union x AJKO is an extremely straightforward affair. Its white and grey base channels the ‘Neutral Grey’ AJ1 OG, but being the AJKO, the uppers are instead canvas. There are some key yellow accents by way of stitching – something of a Union motif – and the Swooshes are interchangeable, nodding to the DIY look of the boutique’s more recent efforts.
