Nike and Jordan Brand have already seen an active 2026 with a slate of retro releases around NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, but the Jumpman is just getting started in terms of its collaborative efforts in the coming months. Soon, Union and Fragment will team up to release one of the most hyped releases of Air Jordan 1 sneakers in recent memory.

The fragment design, created by streetwear designer Hiroshi Fujiwara, first teamed up with Air Jordan in 2014 to create a simple yet iconic black/white/blue design. To date, the original pair fetches over $1,500 on the resale market, forming the basis for Fragment’s upcoming work with the Travis Scott line.
Los Angeles-based Union, founded by Chris Gibbs, first collaborated with the Jordan 1 in 2018 with their popular deconstructed ‘Piece-Together’ take on classic colorways. Mixing and matching each OG colorway of the Jordan 1, high-end pairs run around $1,500, even on the aftermarket.
Already released exclusively in Los Angeles during the 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend, the highly anticipated collaboration between the two known brands will have a global online release in the coming weeks.

The “Varsity Red” colorway first released on February 14 via Union Los Angeles and select Fragment showrooms a week earlier on February 7. Just today, Nike confirmed a wider release of the colorway via the Nike SNKRS app, giving global access to the hyped release at a retail price of $205. This pair is slated for a February 27th, 2026 release and should come in fairly limited numbers in full adult sizes.
An early bird raffle for the second “Black/Navy” pair is already underway, with select entries given early access to the pair on February 18th. A wider Nike SNKRS release has not yet been scheduled for this release, but expect one to follow the “Varsity Red” closely.
