Product description
The Union LA x Air Jordan 4 'Desert Moss' is a collaborative AJ4 celebrating the 30th anniversary of Union Los Angeles, featuring a "Tent and Trail" aesthetic inspired by the late '80s and early '90s. It blends Jordan Brand heritage with Union's boutique approach—the recognizable fold-down tongue and UN/LA patch. This colorway is aimed at vintage outdoor fans, AJ4 collectors, and those who build their rotation around statement pieces. At Aplug, each pair is authenticated and shipped deadstock in its original box .
The upper features a thick, grained suede in a shade of Desert Moss, paired with purple mesh, turquoise eyelets, and translucent TPU wings based on the retro AJ4 silhouette. A stitched, drop-top tongue nods to previous Union x AJ4 iterations, while a yellow UN/LA tag and frontman-branded "1991-2021" hangtag enhance the drop's collectible appeal. A sail-toned sole with a visible Nike Air unit in the heel, embedded in a polyurethane midsole, provides classic, responsive cushioning, while a rubber outsole ensures a confident stride in urban environments. These are lifestyle sneakers with basketball roots—suitable for everyday wear, layering, and urban workwear.
Colorway Desert Moss pairs best with vintage outdoor and urban workwear—opt for muted olives, purples, and creams. Pair with wide-leg cargo pants or stiffer denim, a high-collar fleece, or a ripstop jacket, and top it all off with crew socks and a turquoise baseball cap to accentuate the look. If you want to show off the tongue and mesh, choose straight, untapered legs or a leg width that rests slightly on the upper; for a cleaner look, opt for simple chinos and a muted sail-colored top.
What makes the Union LA x Air Jordan 4 'Desert Moss' stand out?
- Thick Desert Moss suede – a durable, textured material that holds its shape well and creates an outdoor character; however, it requires waterproofing when wet.
- Dense mesh on the panels – improves the breathability of the upper and lightens the shape without losing the retro vibe of the AJ4.
- Translucent TPU wings and molded eyelets stabilize the binding and increase lateral stiffness while highlighting the Union design language.
- Visible Nike Air unit in the heel embedded in a polyurethane (PU) midsole – classic, responsive cushioning and durability known from retro Jordans.
- Sail-colored rubber outsole – good grip on urban surfaces and a consistent, aged look across the entire silhouette.
- UN/LA branding, co-branded insoles and a “1991-2021” hangtag – a clear signal of collaboration and collector’s value right out of the box.
- Stitched, fold-down tongue – a lower profile in the top box and a distinctive look that sets the pair apart from the standard AJ4.
How to choose the size of the Union LA x Air Jordan 4 'Desert Moss'?
This model fits true to size for standard foot width. Due to the stitched, thicker tongue and suede layer, those with very wide feet might consider a plus/minus . If you're between two sizes, choose the larger size—the fit is easily adjusted with laces, and the suede doesn't stretch significantly.
