Whiskey-Inspired Sneakers

The Shoe Surgeon and Jack Daniel's Recreated the Nike Air Force 1

— February 14, 2018 — Fashion
The Shoe Surgeon and Jack Daniel's joined forces to craft a luxurious re-creation of the Nike Air Force 1s. Dominic Chambrone, also known as the Shoe Surgeon, created the sneakers with the Tennessee whiskey brand Jack Daniel's. The collaborative project uses high-end materials such as black Horween leather, coated alongside vachetta tan leather details.

To exude a luxurious finish, the Shoe Surgeon and Jack Daniel's detailed the pair of shoes with metallic gold. Additionally, the sneaker's lining is crafted from distressed leather with russet undertones that are meant to get better with every wear. The low-top construction process is single-stitched all throughout to reduce the panels found in the original Air Force 1 silhouette.
