Fragment Design x Union LA x Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Varsity Red" IO7847-002

The Fragment Design x Union LA x Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG “Varsity Red” brings together Fragment Design, Union LA and the legendary Air Jordan 1. For UK sneakerheads, this is the kind of collaboration that stops timelines mid-scroll.

The colour blocking hits instantly. The collar channels classic “Bred” and “Chicago” energy with bold black and Varsity Red. Clean. Recognisable. Timeless. Down below, the lower half references Fragment’s coveted 2014 Jordan 1 collab, keeping things sharp with familiar blue accents and premium leather panels.

Union’s signature exposed stitching wraps the collar, giving that reconstructed feel fans love. Chalked edges and visible foam add texture and a slightly deconstructed vibe. Fragment’s lightning bolt logo stamps the heel, while Union branding signs off the collar. Both names are present. Both feel earned.

Quality is front and centre. The upper arrives in smooth, high-grade leather with strong structure through the ankle. Padding feels plush without being bulky. Underfoot, you get the classic AJ1 sole unit. Reliable grip. Everyday comfort. No surprises there.

This “Varsity Red” pair is expected to be the most accessible of the trio, with other colourways landing in tighter quantities through select channels. That said, demand will still be high across Nike SNKRS and chosen retailers. Collaborations involving Hiroshi Fujiwara and Chris Gibbs rarely sit.

From a styling angle, this one does it all. The bold collar pops with neutral fits. The blue accents pair well with selvedge denim. Throw them on with cargos and a varsity jacket and you’re set.
