Jordan 1 Retro High OG SP Union LA Bephies Beauty Supply Summer of ‘96

The Jordan 1 Retro High OG SP Union LA Bephies Beauty Supply Summer of ‘96 brings together Jordan Brand, Union Los Angeles and Bephies Beauty Supply for an unconventional reinterpretation of the iconic Air Jordan 1. Created by Union founders Chris Gibbs and Beth “Bephie” Gibbs, the collaboration draws inspiration from the energy of the mid-1990s while combining basketball heritage, DIY craftsmanship and contemporary streetwear culture.

The upper features premium Sail leather complemented by Wolf Grey accents and vibrant University Gold detailing. Its defining feature is the woven construction running around the edges of the upper, inspired by traditional footbag and moccasin-style stitching. This oversized decorative stitching dramatically reshapes the familiar Air Jordan 1 aesthetic and gives the sneaker a handcrafted, deconstructed appearance.

Classic Jordan details remain throughout the design, including the signature Swoosh, Wings logo and Nike Air tongue branding. Union and Bephies Beauty Supply elements are incorporated across the sneaker, while exposed stitching, layered materials and aged-looking midsole tones reinforce the collaboration’s vintage-inspired character. The combination of traditional craftsmanship and familiar basketball design creates a silhouette that feels distinctly different from a standard Air Jordan 1.

Underfoot, an encapsulated Air-Sole unit in the heel provides lightweight cushioning, while the classic rubber cupsole offers durability and support for everyday wear. The padded high-top collar helps secure the foot, and the heritage pivot-circle outsole provides reliable traction.

Released in 2023, the Jordan 1 Retro High OG SP Union LA Bephies Beauty Supply Summer of ‘96 stands as one of the most experimental Air Jordan 1 collaborations of its era. Its distinctive woven construction, premium materials and collaborative storytelling make it a standout piece for Jordan collectors and enthusiasts of unconventional streetwear design.
