Crossed Paths (Pt.1)
Farleigh Start x black!fem!oc
Author’s note: this is so random of me. Welcome to my new fixation, Farleigh Start from Saltburn. I wonder how long this story will last lol.
969 words is crazy i dont even write this much for my classes lol. it takes me days to get to 1000 words.
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4
Crossed Paths
“Mama, there is no need to worry about me. You don’t trust me?” Jordan says. “It’s not that I don’t trust you. I don't trust the rest of the world. You're my baby, and you’re leaving me. Going all the way across the world!” Monica, Jordan’s mom, exclaims.
“Ma, you know this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I have never left this country, and I get the chance to study at one of the oldest and most prestigious universities for free! There’s nothing to worry about,” Jordan explains, “Listen, I’m about to pull up to my apartment, or shall I say ‘flat’ as the Englishmen describe it. I’ll talk to you later. Goodnighhhht.”
“Goodnight, baby, I love you. Don’t go crazy over there now!” Monica hangs up.
Jordan gets out of her taxi and takes in her surroundings. University of Oxford, I can’t believe I made it. Jordan clumsily gathers her luggage from the taxi (It’s a lot of stuff) and walks towards the entrance to her accommodation. As she struggles to make sure none of her luggage falls, she accidentally bumps into a tall figure.
“Fuck.”
“Oh shit, I am so sorry!” Jordan looks up and exclaims. She sees a tall, pretty, light-skinned man staring down at his now-stained shirt. He’s black, she thinks. “Yes, and so is my shirt,” the man says sarcastically. “Oh, I did not realize I said that out loud. I’m sorry again. I’m kind of struggling, and I guess I wasn't paying-” she tries to explain, “You’re American?” the man interrupts. “Um, yeah, I just got in today, if you can’t tell. I’m here for an exchange program,” she continued. “Not many of us here. Listen, don’t worry about the shirt. I hope to see you around, but I gotta be somewhere soon,” the man quickly says and walks off.
“For sure,” Jordan trails off, saying before she looks at her bags, I guess I will take this up myself. “Ugh!” she groans.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Jordan sits in her flat and looks at the now unpacked space. I did a great job. I think I'm gonna put a Texas flag on my wall, too. She slumps down on the couch and looks at the flyer on her coffee table. ‘Undergraduate Social! 5 PM,’ it reads. “I guess I can attempt to socialize,” Jordan looks down at her watch, “One hour to get ready, but I don’t have to be there at exactly 5 pm though,” Jordan thinks aloud. I wonder if I’ll see the man from earlier?
After freshening up, Jordan gathered her keys and wallet and went to the social. She entered the student union and noticed it bustling with students and professors. While looking around, she subconsciously looks for the man she met earlier. Not many black students, she notes. She takes the time to go up to different organization tables and gather information. As she moves from table to table, she feels a delicate hand tap her shoulder. Jordan turns around and notices a blonde girl standing in front of her.
“Hello!” the blonde girl exclaims.
“Hello?” Jordan questions.
“Sorry for the abruptness, but I just wanted to introduce myself. You seemed lost. My name is Venetia, and I wanted to ask, are you American?”
“Uh yeah, I am. I’m from Texas, actually.” Jordan explains.
“That’s really cool. There aren't many Americans here. I do know another one, though, who just happens to be my cousin. Would you like to meet him?”
I do need friends, so it wouldn't hurt.
“I don’t mind that at all. Lead the way. Also, my name is Jordan, by the way.”
“What a lovely name. Follow me!” Venetia instructs.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
“Boys, I would like you to meet Jordan! She’s American just like you, Farleigh!” Venetia exclaims
Jordan stares at the tall man. “Oh, we’ve met Vee. She’s the one who spilled tea on my shirt.” Farleigh explains with a stoic look on his face.
Jordan stares at her feet sheepishly, “Yeah, really sorry about that.”
Farleigh stared the girl down until he smirked, “I’m just playing; it wasn’t a big deal. It's nice to put a pretty name to a pretty face, though.”
He just called me pretty.
“Ignore Farleigh, he’s a little jokester. Aren’t you cousin?” Venetia teasingly asks as Farleigh rolls his eyes. “Anyway, this is my brother, Felix,” Venetia gestures to another tall, handsome man. Are all British men above 6 feet and handsome?
“Hello. Sorry for my sister practically dragging you over here,” Felix jokes.
“I did not drag her over here!” Venetia exclaims
“Haha, it’s okay. I need to put myself out there more honestly, don’t want to be alone during my time here.” Jordan reassures.
“How about I get your phone number?” Farleigh blurts out, he then corrects himself, “ How about we all get your number so we can continue hanging out more? Obviously, I don’t want to be the only American in the group.”
“I thought you would never ask,” Jordan pulls out her phone to notice it’s dead, “Oops, phone is dead. Let me just write it down.” There is no paper. “Can I see your hand?” Jordan asks Farleigh while taking out a pen. Jordan softly holds Farleigh’s hand and writes down her number, “You can pass this on to the rest of them,” Jordan smiles at Farleigh.
“It was really nice meeting y'all, but I have to get ready for the first day, so I’ll see y'all later,” Jordan waves and walks off.
Oh my god, when did I get so bold?
The group looks at each other in astonishment as Jordan walks away. “Ooh, Farleigh, she gave you her number,” Venetia teases. “She gave it to all of us,” Farleigh defends himself.
“She says y’all,” Felix points out. “That’s so Texas of her.” He jokes.

The Union x Air Jordan 1 Retro High 'Black Toe' draws inspiration from the venerable Los Angeles retailer's love of thrifting and DIY culture, creating a new take on the sneaker that started it all. In addition to a pre-yellowed midsole for a vintage look, a mismatched collar is attached to the rest of the upper with zigzag stitching, a creative nod to makeshift design.

Why do people go for purchasing replica Jordan shoes, precisely the collection of Travis Scott and Union LA?
The cologne series rooted in the Air Jordan brand speaks to the cream of sneaker culture and defines what is meant by an industrial finish. However, it is quite meaningful and expensive; therefore, the majority of collectors aim to buy replica Jordans. This article describes the main reasons people usually buy replica Jordans for exclusive series collection.
Affordability
One reason so many people purchase fake Jordans is because of the expense factor. While a real pair of Jordans can cost several hundreds of dollars even for special and limited models such as the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 and the Union LA x Air Jordan 4, the resale prices may reach into the thousands. For many customers, this is just too expensive. Though very expensive, running mostly over $100 to $200, imitations of Jordans give buyers the same striking style and prestige, found only in limited-edition Jordans, for much cheaper prices.
Example: Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1
The Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 is super popular on the resale market, commanding really high prices for this shoe. Replicas of these shoes make them far more accessible and shareable; fans won't have to fork over the super high resale price for them.
Rarity and affordability Adding to that, another driver of the demand for fake Jordans is the scarcity of the shoes themselves: highly publicized, very limited-quantity collaborations-like the Travis Scott and Union LA deals-are known to sell out in minutes. Miss that window, and there's usually only the resale market, where prices balloon because of high demand.
It makes them more accessible to those who cannot afford the increased resell prices or just happened to miss the initial release. Example: Union LA x Air Jordan 4 The Union LA x Air Jordan 4 was for sure among the most hyped releases that hardly anyone was able to get from retail. Replicas allow those who can't afford them-or can't get the shoes for whatever reason-to wear them.
The Glamour of Iconic Collaborations
Besides this, the artistic collaborations the brand does with artists like Travis Scott and other brands like Union LA give cultural relevance to the Air Jordan brand. It's not about having a pair of shoes; it's about being part of the culture.
For many consumers, though, it is more to do with status and prestige. Replica Jordans put exactly the same designs and cultural significance on the feet without the financial burden of purchasing a real pair. 4. Features in Luxury Copies As a matter of fact, Jordan replicas have really gone a notch higher in terms of quality. The higher quality ones are even referred to as "1:1 replicas," meaning they are relatively similar in materials, construction, and look to the actual Jordans. Most buyers find the quality sufficient for making an order, especially if the price is way cheaper compared to the shoes themselves. Conclusion It's all because buying these kinds of replica Jordans-mostly those from highly sought-after collections like Travis Scott and Union LA-is trend-driven by affordability, scarcity, and nostalgia for such iconic collaborations. Of course, there are ethical and legal problems, but for as long as replicas are in demand, they are safe in a bright future with relevance in the sneaker game. The personal priorities-budget and authenticity-are pretty much all it comes down to when choosing to buy either authentic or replica Jordans.

Fragment Design x Union LA x Air Jordan 1
Sneaker insider HORHEAD_Sales just dropped some exciting news for Jordan fans. Not only is fragment design teaming up with Travis Scott and Jordan Brand for another Air Jordan 1 collab in 2025, but Hiroshi Fujiwara's label is also jumping in on Union LA's latest AJ1 campaign. While we haven’t seen the actual sneaker yet, mock-ups suggest a mix of Union LA's signature stitched-together style with fragment’s classic blue, black, and white combo.
As of now, neither fragment, Union LA, nor Jordan Brand have officially confirmed the collaboration, but the buzz is real. Word is, this fresh take on the Air Jordan 1 will drop during the shoe’s 40th anniversary in 2025. Keep an eye out for updates and the first official look, which should be coming soon via Nike SNKRS and select retailers. Shoutout to HORHEAD_Sales for keeping us in the loop!
