While the inspiration is undeniably, the Air Jordan 1 Smoke Grey is more than just the younger brother of the highly coveted Jordan 1 Union LA. While the red ankle panel surely resembles the Union LA, the shoe keeps it a little simpler by sticking to more harmonic materials and keeping the heel in the same grey suede as the toebox, unlike the Union LA.

Finished off by the standard Air Midsole and a contrasting black outsole, the shoe is a great alternative for those who don't want to break their bank, or simply find the Union LA too eccentric.
