The Nike UNION LA sneaker collaboration goes WAY back to the year 2005 with the Air Force 180 CLERKS PACK. However, we’re not here to talk about past sneaker releases, but all the upcoming drops! A lot of these were slated for a 2021 release, but, obviously, that’s not gonna happen! We’re already through with the year anyways.
The collaboration had a pretty good run with the latest sneaker designs. We even had one of the most epic releases of the year! The Air Jordan 4 UNION LA for the 30th Anniversary of Union in Desert Moss and Taupe Haze. And now, we’re getting a New Cortez, an Air Jordan 2, and a Nike Dunk Lows. Keep reading to find out more!

AIR JORDAN 2 UNION LA
So, to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the Air Jordan 2 silhouette, the Jordan Brand’s releasing the Jordan 2 UNION. This is a very special release of the Nike UNION LA sneakers featuring the middle child of Jordans!Â
The key features of this Nike UNION LA Jordan release are the light grey nylon and suede uppers. They also have vibrant blue detailing with a vintage sense through the yellowed laces. It comes with co-branded tongue labels and non-standard production tags. Also, rumor has it that it’s supposed to drop in another Rattan-Siren colorway. But, we aren’t sure about that yet.

NIKE UNION LA CORTEZ
Next, we’re gonna talk about the Nike UNION LA Cortez release – one that we’re super excited about! The Nike Cortez has a long history behind them and is one of the OG Nike classics. They are functional and are a huge part of pop-culture history. The Nike Cortez was even on TV starring in Forrest Gump!
Although it isn’t the most high-performing Nike with the highest sneaker technology, it is still very stylish! And the new Nike UNION LA Cortez is here to bring the hype back! It has a completely new look and feels with beige canvas material and teal, brown, and pink stripes. It also features a buttery tan suede overlay on the toe box, quarters, collars, and heels.
Other details include bold pink accents on top of the Swoosh, tongues, and heel flaps. Branding includes a bold yellow UNION tab on the forefoot with the Nike branding on the tongue and heel. Also, we’ve got the Union’s signature Frontman logo on the outer flaps. And, traditional block letter branding underneath the heel tabs. The colorway on these NIKE UNION Cortez features a Khaki Red color scheme. Expected SPRING 2022.

NIKE UNION LA DUNK
Finally, the Nike UNION LA Dunk Low in a duo release – one of them being the Midnight Navy. This release replaces the traditional smooth leather uppers with a gridded pixelated pattern all over! Definitely a sneaker we can rock in the Metaverse.Â
It features a pastel green tone around the toe box, quarters, and collars. Plus it has light Midnight Blue overlays and interior linings. Furthermore, the Swooshes and heel overlays also had a total makeover! They have metallic silver outer linings with frayed heel stitchings. As for the Nike UNION co-branding, it has a yellow Union LA tab on the side quarter panels with signature Frontman logos on the heels and insoles! Expected SPRING 2022!
