Deconstructed Washed-Out Apparel

Union LA and Jordan Brand Highlight Vintage Branding Accents

Union LA and Jordan Brand introduce a collaborative collection full of deconstructed sportswear, highlighting goods from Nike. To really evoke a sense of vintage aesthetics, the pieces are complete in washed out colors and vintage branding accents. The duo also draws in the help of Saint Luis by Patrick Matamoros to give the sportswear purposely distressed cuts using materials such as salt, Planeta, and boat motor.

The deconstructed apparel is carefully stitched by hand and intricately detailed. The silhouettes include tees, hoodies, sweatpants, and shorts -- all of which are reworked to boast a worn-out look. Notably, each item is unique to its own, with every tear and washed out hue infused differently. The collaborative duo will also be releasing a new capsule that will appear to be untouched and clean to round out their current partnership.
