HTM x NIKE LUNAR FLYKNIT

START THE MONTH WITH A KNOCK OUT

Well, I know it's June 2nd...
By knock out, I meant these Air Jordan Knock Out also known as AJKO. Although the LeBron 9 Elite - "South Beach" released the same day, Jordan's still got it.
(Just do a comparison of their retail price. Haha.)
AJKO = $125
LeBron 9 Elite - "South Beach" = $250

AJKO - "Bred"

AJKO - "Black Toe"

NIKE x TOM SACHS MARS YARD SHOE

Although it seems out of place for Union to sell Nike shoes again, but it fits perfectly to the store's lifestyle or high-end stuff...

I'm just going to paraphrase/quote a friend of mine about it - "It's better for Union to sell them because if it was at NikeTown, most consumers will not buy them due to it's price tag." ($385 for the shoes and I don't know how much are the bags and jackets).

(Here's a link to look at the whole collection: Highsnobiety - Nike x Tom Sachs NIKECraft Capsule Collection)

As you can see below, jackets and bags are more suitable for the customers of Union rather than NikeTown or maybe Nike Santa Monica.


The display at Union.

I am not sure if each box is hand-written (signed) or printed. Haha.

MY W)TAPS x VANS SYNDICATE COLLECTION

I recently got my other shoes back from the storage. So, I was reunited with my shoes and along with my other W)Taps x Vans Syndicates.
It felt like it was Christmas and birthday to me when I got them back. Haha.
