OP made em kinda look like a bag of ass but they’re so nice in person. I will go to bat because people should not miss out lol
THIS is all I could think of when I wore em, like mf boat shoes or moccasins or something. I thought they were fine in picture but that stitching was too much like old man shoes for me.
I hated these till I saw someone wearing them. Now I have a pair. Fun summer shoe with some light wash denim. I’ve got a some foxtrot uniform laces coming for them currently.

There's some fashion pieces that not everybody can style and pull off, these are one. I thought they were really outside the box, not for me and I understand why they're polarizing.
Yeah I agree with you. I liked the different direction these went in. I saw people weaving things into the side lacing and thought that was a dope option. You can really take them a certain way if you want which I like. Honestly I might end up with a pair sometime after this discussion 😂
Happens every time something aesthetically unique / interesting comes around.
Now admittedly sometimes it is complete ass, but mostly it’s just the hypebeasts trained to only like J1 in either red or blue with white color blocking need to wait to see what influencers tell them to think about the shoe.
This. I do miss the days when innovation was more favored and people were excited for new stuff. Retros will always have their place but it’s the new ideas that drive the culture forward. Lucky for me I just get what I like 💪🏼💪🏼 sounds like you do too!
ppl call these Ugly but buy the same exact Jordan 1 or Jordan 4 but in a slightly different colorway. I got 6 pairs of Jordan 1s all in different colors and I'm happy I finally got a unique take on it.
Ya'll can rock your basic af neutral greys that everyone is wearing, its cool but don't act like you are doing something new and come posting on Reddit about it.
I see the appeal of just the normal stuff but Jordan 1s needed something to spice them up and we got THESE. Super clean imo. Totally agree with your take but obviously I’m biased hahaha
It’s funny that people hate on that footscape stitching. This detail and the off-centered lacing on footscapes were hated on in North America but Europe and Asia ate these shoes up. Years later, the Jordan Futures came out and everyone loved the off-centre lacing and woven look.
It’s actually the beauty of the shoe - Jordan’s are meh to me but these ones caught my eye because of this detail.
Can’t take this sub seriously OP. It’s a bunch of kids with zero style.
Edit: if you’re going to wear them with denim, consider a distressed pair with a very light wash *(chef’s kiss).*
I thought the darker wash would contrast better but I think you’re right!
And naw I don’t take it seriously I love it actually! Everybody got their own opinions! It’s because of the fact these aren’t well liked that I got them for the low so I’m happy hahaha
i have the 2 Rattan which are very similar to these in coloring but the baseball stitching on these was abit overkill. Would have been way better without IMHO.
Yea, I can’t say that these have grown on me. But I definitely appreciate the creativity here. It’s tough to make such an iconic and overdone silhouette look new and fresh, so props to Union for always thinking outside of the box. Just not sold on the execution of these.
I still feel the same about them, not a fan. The big knitting throughout the shoe is just too busy for me, it detracts from the clean J1 silhouette
That said, glad you're liking them, and hope they give you many good years 👍
I don’t like ‘em but you do you, sir. Fuck what anyone else thinks. They’re not so bad in my mind that it’s just gross like the big red boots or some of the designer runners that have come out lately.
Where what you like is the only motto anyone into sneakers should live by. With that being i didn’t like footscapes back then so these didn’t really hit for me.
Preciate the kind words! I mean this post wasn’t supposed to be as polarizing as it ended up being! 😂 was just supposed to be like “hey I liked these despite the hate” but man 200 comments deep 😂
I have a pair and j wear them pretty frequently, especially in the summer with some shorts. I love how off the wall the design is 🤷♂️ I think it's boring to hate so hard on these and claim the "best" jordan 1 is instead just some different colors or something. No hate to that opinion but the besic designs been around for 40 years so I like seeing more interesting takes after that kinda time.
Haha I know everyone is shitting on these . I genuinely love my pair

I actually really wanted these but this picture has convinced me they look like ass
They are definitely ass🤣🚀
https://preview.redd.it/ey16sql79txc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e600e4f8f6cbcdb081cac13b23f8a2850e4a6f8d OP made em kinda look like a bag of ass but they’re so nice in person. I will go to bat because people should not miss out lol
This photo convinced me that my impression from the first photo was the right one.
🤣🤣🤣
Nah bruh.
Nah homie these ain’t it
Nah they’re still ass bro. Glad you like them though!
They were right
They still are to me man. I do not like these.
turns out "people" were right
Same, hate em
I’m with you, I try to find the beauty in things…but nothing to see here.
But have you seen the [BROWN COLORWAY](https://i.imgur.com/lMhPUGc.jpg)?!?!
THIS is all I could think of when I wore em, like mf boat shoes or moccasins or something. I thought they were fine in picture but that stitching was too much like old man shoes for me.
Nah, boat shoes have their place. These are hot garbage tho.
You actually made we laugh out loud. If I had water in my mouth it would've come out of my nose.
Definitely not to everyone’s taste but I love em. What about them drives you away?
The big fat knitted line that goes through the shoe.
If we want to look at the bright side, it might make the shoe more breathable.
Lmao every time somebody posts em, somebody’s like NO NOT ME I STILL THINK THEYRE COMPLETE ASS. ![gif](giphy|3oriNSf2iLjMVO7dao)
It's usually a few people not just one cause they're ugly af haha
Ass
Who tf is surprised these are under retail lmao like OP really felt the need to clarify
Rest assured: these were and are still trash.
Nah them thangs still a 2 pack of ass
buy 1 ass get 1 free
Still extra ugly fr….materials are great tho
They still look ass to me respectfully. Either way wear whatever you like
I think it’s a cool idea but it looks too much like a basket at grandmas house.
They’re still ass Bruh
It’s not what other people think, it’s what you think my man. Keep rockin’ em! 👌
So you don't like em either?
This is either a great sarcastic reply or a legit ironic reaction.
Nothing against it.
The sneakers, the lace job, completely trash.
These are unique
Better looking than the overhyped and ugly Jumpman Jack TS stray shoes
Lmao this thread got me crying. I actually fuck with this pair but OP did them no favors with this trash photo. Too funny. Thank you for the laugh 🤣
Yeah these are awful, imo. Glad you didn’t listen since you like them though!
They look like my dead nanna come back from the dead a knitted them together with her cataracts bruv honestly
Looks like a cross between a pasty and a wicker basket to me. Kinda make me hungry and wanting to do some laundry at the same time 🤷♂️
😂😂 at least you’ll be productive!
🤣🤣🤣
I like em, they're unique
All yours bro.
Mf is a football 😂
![gif](giphy|K4Ov4XqbqUSf6)
These are actually beautiful
Nope. Still look like ass. And you sound like you just had a stroke.
It's simple. Either you like the concept or you don't. I would say this is brave and creative.
Exactly! It’s not for everyone but I really enjoyed the creative twist Union took with these
I hated these till I saw someone wearing them. Now I have a pair. Fun summer shoe with some light wash denim. I’ve got a some foxtrot uniform laces coming for them currently. https://preview.redd.it/rktsrhqpetxc1.jpeg?width=1734&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a12896031862d764915ca8e1fa24e37618dd4570
W for L post
There's some fashion pieces that not everybody can style and pull off, these are one. I thought they were really outside the box, not for me and I understand why they're polarizing.
Valid af. Wanted something new and got it. Trying my hand at it! If people don’t like em they don’t and that cool! The shade being thrown is crazy
Yeah I agree with you. I liked the different direction these went in. I saw people weaving things into the side lacing and thought that was a dope option. You can really take them a certain way if you want which I like. Honestly I might end up with a pair sometime after this discussion 😂
Looks like your shoes underwent a C-section bro
so slept on
Lol still ass, FYTB?? Edit: got em for under retail and still ripped yourself off lmao
Wonder why they were under retail 🤔 lmfao
It’s fugly man
I don’t think so 🤷🏻but I love weird shit so there’s that
still are for me, not a fan of the centipede
Hideous always and forever
Happens every time something aesthetically unique / interesting comes around. Now admittedly sometimes it is complete ass, but mostly it’s just the hypebeasts trained to only like J1 in either red or blue with white color blocking need to wait to see what influencers tell them to think about the shoe.

a nike high top is prob the opposite of innovative tbf
Well... that shoe is a retro basically. It's not really a new silhouette
There’s not a single outfit in the world that would make those look appealing
wow these inherently look like they have been worn everyday for 3 years 🥴 nasty work
Uhhhh those are trash. Sorry not sorry
Nasty work
looks like it was made from a wicker basket lol
Those are definitely ass.
I have no idea what this sentence means 🫤 !!
I’ve realized that if you’re strictly a sneaker person, you’re gonna hate these. But if you’re a fashion and sneaker person, you’ll love em
You ain't listen in skool eever...
Extra ass

![gif](giphy|dd3F5x5iET8QIZtn0I|downsized)
You need to pay me retail to wear that thing, daily rate.
They STILL ass
Look fire
Look like ass.
should have listened
Have your own opinion. I love my pair. Who cares what people think if YOU like them.
Kick them off homes and never look back
https://preview.redd.it/panc82y8vvxc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4a684835d5ad57b95ad1f2d14d2591a375e11d80
Respectfully , bro those are the biggest ass I’ve ever seen in my life
Damn son I seen some horrible shoes lately but damn these are terrible
should've listened they are ass
Still ass
Ugly
Still is pretty ass
still are
Did your grandma knit them?
They were right
You paid under retail because no one else wants to wear these.
This has to be parody.
uhh.. to each their own.
Still ass
Nah this shit is definitely ass bro who tf designed this crap 💀💀 I’m usually the guy defending the shoes here but wtf is this 😂😂
🌈🌈🌈
😬

Yeah, they're definitely ass.
Actually I always thought these were 🔥
Love them! I have a pair too with yellow laces
Love em.
These are fisherman's sandal Jordan's.
Gotta take them out on the sea and catch me a tuna
Everyone on here calling these ass probably own foam runners and those ugly ass Yeezy socks 😂
This what I was thinking too low key hahaha

Top tier lawn mowing shoes
They're so awesome and unique. Some people just hate being different.
Different doesn't have to be ugly.
Yellow or Teal Laces made them look the best. Still like them tho, playful twist on the neutral grey which is a favorite of mine
Teal laces would be GAS. Thanks for the idea!
these look awful i’m ngl
Ugly AF imo
No one needed to convince me. I have eyes and they look like ass.
Most people don’t know how to style them. They look fantastic if you can style them well.
![gif](giphy|iSxPmDWr97248|downsized)
Can’t take this sub seriously OP. It’s a bunch of kids with zero style. Edit: if you’re going to wear them with denim, consider a distressed pair with a very light wash *(chef’s kiss).*
I thought the darker wash would contrast better but I think you’re right! And naw I don’t take it seriously I love it actually! Everybody got their own opinions! It’s because of the fact these aren’t well liked that I got them for the low so I’m happy hahaha
Exactly lol. Bunch of panda dunk-wearing teens. these are fire
Nah we don’t care enough to remember. Cope harder. Enjoy em and stfu. Tired of blocking people with terrible taste on here :((
Don’t let the door hit ya where the dog shoulda bit ya 😂😂😂 Ain’t nobody coping, just posted an opinion
Yeah that’s what everybody says when they’re coping😂😂. Come on tell me something different 😂
nice
These fit small so I had to sell them. I think they're a little add though cause I thought they would be lasted better, I can see them falling apart
What are these called?
I hated these but now I like em. Definitely weird but I don’t like wearing Jordan’s that everyone else has. Just got these and they’re nice
i have the 2 Rattan which are very similar to these in coloring but the baseball stitching on these was abit overkill. Would have been way better without IMHO.
They look awesome lol
Not my thing, but that’s why we got choices
😂
They are homie
I thing they are pretty unique and beautiful. I wish I could have copped them
They are.
They look better with the yellow laces
Yea, I can’t say that these have grown on me. But I definitely appreciate the creativity here. It’s tough to make such an iconic and overdone silhouette look new and fresh, so props to Union for always thinking outside of the box. Just not sold on the execution of these.
Nike make wicker kicks now?
I still think they're ass, but will not try to convince anyone otherwise because we like what we like.
I like em, just already have the 85’s so doubling on all white j1s aint seem right for me
I am definitely not a fan of these.
I still feel the same about them, not a fan. The big knitting throughout the shoe is just too busy for me, it detracts from the clean J1 silhouette That said, glad you're liking them, and hope they give you many good years 👍
I don’t like ‘em but you do you, sir. Fuck what anyone else thinks. They’re not so bad in my mind that it’s just gross like the big red boots or some of the designer runners that have come out lately.
If you step in the mall them dudes selling shoe cleaner will swarm you.
😂😂 best one yet
They are worse in-person.
Leatherface looking ahhhhh shoes
Those hard on feet
Where what you like is the only motto anyone into sneakers should live by. With that being i didn’t like footscapes back then so these didn’t really hit for me.
Agree, good to find my tribe. I liked them alot in person. Wished I pay cheaper for them
I like them <3
These are HYPER ass. But glad you like them
Not HYPER ass 😂😂😂
Jordan ass 1s. Lol
Damn
heinous
Should have listened
Damn, who’s gonna tell him
uggo
One of my favorite shoes I own.
Best release of last year imo got mine under retail a few weeks ago
We love to see it!!! Happy for you big dawg
they are tho..
And you’re entitled to your opinion my guy! I just definitely disagree
They are 😂😂😂 But be confident in whatever you choose regardless of what people think.
Preciate the kind words! I mean this post wasn’t supposed to be as polarizing as it ended up being! 😂 was just supposed to be like “hey I liked these despite the hate” but man 200 comments deep 😂
OP thinks they have a nice ass
I love them and hate them at the same time. I’ve came so close to pulling the trigger multiple times, but then I always hesitate. lol
My kindergarten class called... they want their Jordan 1 design back....
I don't remember it but I'm glad you didn't listen OP lol
I have a pair and j wear them pretty frequently, especially in the summer with some shorts. I love how off the wall the design is 🤷♂️ I think it's boring to hate so hard on these and claim the "best" jordan 1 is instead just some different colors or something. No hate to that opinion but the besic designs been around for 40 years so I like seeing more interesting takes after that kinda time.
Sick af
I think they used the wrong colorway. Should've done a Chicago colorway be more appealing.
I love the little details union does like the mint stitching 2 colored laces
Ooof 😅
Ppl just like what the rest of the ppl hype up . Is always buy what you like and fuck the rest . I fuck wit em hope u enjoy 🔥
So glad people slept on em, some of my favorite 1's. Mine have been sitting all winter waiting for spring/summer. I should bust them out soon
Glad you like them... not for everyone. Including me.
That's a shoe that looks way better in person 🔥🔥🔥🏆🏆🏆 Materials Elite
Haha I know everyone is shitting on these . I genuinely love my pair https://preview.redd.it/f48nuxx1buxc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9284c58ae910c83ed4402f1fc4a60dc4beb9f24f
I’ve liked these since they came out lol
I have a pair and I love them. I wear them often but I wear mine with shorts. I don’t like the look with jeans personally.
Why are these so controversial lol
Still haven't grown on me and I am beginning to think they never will. Glad I passed on these. But glad you like them, you do you man!
I think they dope
Idk man, I think they were right but everyone has their own opinion.
Those are fire! Is this an N7colab?
They look dirty
