  • In this video I describe and create 3 SNEAKER HACKS TO MAKE UNION AIR JORDAN 4s BETTER!
    Super simple changes to make the look more traditional of the Air Jordan 4 Retro. Simple Lace Swap, removing the stitches in the tongue to reveal the Union Jordan logo, and cutting the window out of the clear plastic wings make very small changes but provide a lot of impact IMO!

    The colors were a little jarring to me at first but grew on me....and after you explained about the carryover from the AJ1 and seeing that correlation I dig it. I like the yellow laces for the same reason as you...coz it actually works with the shoe and matches that small union tag. Lastly, the materials used are great...that suede looks buttery and cut really thick. That was a major standout for me.

    This was my favorite color combination out of the pack. I was a little depressed when I found out that the guava ice would be a Union LA exclusive. I personally like stuff that’s different, not usually one to ride the high train. Was super happy I hit on sneakers app for the community gardens. I’ll keep my fingers crossed I can hit on October 16 for one of the three pairs. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
    The lace swap was the hit for me 🔥🔥🔥, you could’ve done the double lacing too.
