The Remade is a custom label that turns concepts into reality, and its latest project is a blend of Levis denim and the iconic Air Jordan 1 sneaker silhouette. The label infuses the recognizable footwear piece with re-purposed denim materials all throughout the entire upper. The Remade was originally inspired by the Jordan IV Levis piece that Jordan Brand released earlier this year. The vision was to create its own version, but from its own unique approach -- tearing up Levis signature trucker jacket.
The sneakers are completely reworked with the iconic trucker jacket, down to the front pocket details which are seen as the sneaker's tongue. There are also distressed details all throughout the shoe, and the signature Levis branding tag sees the heel of the left shoe. On the interior, premium Italian lambskin is used as the lining.
