Jordan Brand will continue to release high-value releases all year round just like the Union LA x Air Jordan 2 Retro Rattan. Before we estimate its resale, let’s head on over to the secondary market to see how lucrative Union x Jordan collaborations are.

Union LA x Jordan

Opened in New York in 1989, Union started as a clothing brand and opened up in LA in 1991. Their main aim was to establish a brand much like Supreme, the king of underground fashion.

However, Union NY closed in 2009, while the one in LA was the only one left open. Over the years, the brand has amassed legions of fans that buy up whatever they release.

Much like Supreme’s collaborations, Union LA’s partnerships with companies like Jordan Brand have been highly sought after. The Union LA x Air Jordan 1, for example, resells for over $1,000 each!

To estimate resale for the Union LA x Air Jordan 2 Retro Rattan, let’s head on over to the secondary market.
