This collab has Chris Gibbs, founder of Union Los Angeles, teaming up with his wife Elizabeth Gibbs of Bephies Beauty Supply (BBS) to release this collaborative iteration of the women’s Air Jordan 1 Elevate High. Not familiar with Bephies Beauty Supply (BBS)? It’s a women’s streetwear line founded by Beth Birkett in March of 2020. The brand aims to involve community in the tangible elements of Black culture by highlighting unique brands founded by WOC artists and entrepreneurs who are redefining beauty and fashion as vivid, powerful and individual. Additionally, you may remember that Bephies Beauty Supply also has prior experience with Air Jordan collaborations as they teamed up with Jordan Brand in 2022 to drop their very own interpretations of the Air Jordan 7 that celebrated the model’s 30th Anniversary. The Union x Bephies Beauty Supply x Air Jordan 1 Elevate High comes dressed in a Sail, Kinetic Green, Muslin, Gum Yellow, Cone, and Pale Ivory color scheme. As you can see, the sneaker features a similar design as the Union x Air Jordan 1 High OG Woven as it also comes equipped with a woven design of their own that is found wrapped throughout the entire upper. Other notable features include the Green Swooshes, exposed stitching, “BBS” branding on the heels, “UN/LA” signature tag on the lateral side, Orange Wings logo on the ankle, and “Nike Air” branding on the insoles. Completing the look is a Sail midsole, Gum rubber outsole an extra set of laces and special packaging.
