Union LA x Nike Dunk Low Releases Fall 2026
Union Los Angeles and Nike are preparing a two-pair Dunk Low collaboration for Fall 2026, with the 'Bamboo' colorway marking Chris Gibbs' team's return to the silhouette. The capsule strips away excess ornamentation in favor of considered construction details and a functional design twist.

A Measured Return to the Dunk
Chris Gibbs and Union Los Angeles have established themselves as precise collaborators within the Nike ecosystem, bringing editorial discipline to each project. Their upcoming Fall 2026 Dunk Low capsule reflects that sensibility—a two-shoe collection that prioritizes material quality and subtle innovation over visual maximalism. This marks a deliberate counterpoint to their earlier Passport Pack work on the same silhouette, demonstrating how a creative partnership can evolve its approach to a foundational model.
Design Details
The "Bamboo" iteration centers on olive suede construction, a warm, earthy palette that sits between traditional green and brown tones. Union's signature design language appears in deliberate touches: exposed stitching articulates the toe box, while a small Union tag sits just above the forefoot. The most functional detail arrives at the heel, which folds down to allow the shoe to be worn as a mule—a design decision that prioritizes versatility without announcing itself.
Accompanying the "Bamboo" pair is a "Black" colorway, built on the same Dunk Low base and employing similar construction methods. Both shoes retail for $135 and carry style code IF7380-200.
Union's Nike Lineage
Union's collaborative history with Nike spans multiple silhouettes and design directions. The partnership has extended across the Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 4, Cortez, and Field General, each project contributing to a broader conversation about how independent voices shape mainstream product. The Dunk Low, as a utilitarian foundation, suits Union's design philosophy—there's room to refine without requiring radical reinterpretation.
