What’s good, family! It’s your boy Sykes back again with another thread. Today we actually have a really good look at the Union Los Angeles from Offset (randomly) and, I’ve got to say, they’re nice as hell. This is an aesthetically pleasing shoe, objectively speaking.
Being completely honest with y’all, though? I’m not copping these. I just…don’t think I can rock these joints properly. The AJ2 is hard for me, man.
But there’s clearly a Jordan 2 resurgence on tap. You’ve got these coming along with the A Ma Maniere 2 that is supposed to be coming sometime soon down the line. So I’m wondering, where do we stand as a community on the 2? Are we here for it?
I feel like there's no middle ground with II's. You either love them or you don't. I'm in the first group lol. Also I've been greatly disturbed by the recent development in the sneaker community of not referring to Jordans by their appropriate Roman numeral designation lol.
I don't like 2's and I don't think I'll ever change my mind there, but the pair with the orange has had me considering copping for months now. I want to see them on feet. But like lady feet and then decide.
I don't generally care for the AJ2, but I think these look great. The textures of this shoe are so pleasing to me. This is still a clean look, without feeling as stark as the original.
I don’t like 2s but there’s something about these joints that just makes me like them. The grey fog pair would be incredibly fun to try to style around. Neutral outfits are about to be popping off with these.
I love my OW 2 Lows. I have the Don C joints too. If I can cop these, I will, but also won't be checking for them on resell. At least, I say that now...

who wants to show their age like that with Roman numerals? ;)
It's tradition!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Union is generally good about getting ladies to model for them so I hope we get to see it!

don't i wish that were true.
I’m going to be real with you chief!! I love 2s and the collabs coming up are right up my alley. I’ll even take extra entries from the gallery here.

Yeah, I think you could definitely get a good fit off with these. The colors are phenomenal here.

I'll be surprised if you don't get them. But then again I'm surprised by anything you don't have.
Seriously LOL
I don't hate II's but they do remind of the sneakers niggas would wear on Doug.
I’m checking out the AMM 2s for the sake of completing that trio. And the OG 2 coming later in the year. These Union 2s don’t do anything for me
I think I might try for the OGs? That's honestly it for me though lol
lipstick on a pig. the unions and AMM's are pretty pigs, but I know deep down it's got pig DNA.
LMAO lipstick on a pig. Wow, Chris.
I always felt like this was the starter shoe for Tinker and if feels incomplete. Nailed it with the 3 but something feels awkward here.
Hmmm that's a really interesting thought! Might do some digging on that to see where his mind was when they developed these.
