Exotic Fitness Sneakers

JBF Customs Transforms the Air Jordan 1s Shoes

— September 27, 2014 — Fashion
JBF Customs is a company that takes well-known shoes, and remixes them with an interesting twist. The latest development from the company comes in the form of Air Jordan 1s shoes, whereby the owner has decked these out with crocodile and python leather.

There's not a lot that's more exotic than using python on a running shoe, as most are made from either regular leather or cloth material. One would have to be very careful when working out to not scuff or damage this custom design. The material works well with the coloring of the shoe, as it stands out in a bright red hue along with gold laces.

For those who like their sneakers to come with a twist, this design by JBF Customs will certainly meet this demand.
