Australian label BespokeIND introduced a new custom Air Jordan 3 sneaker silhouette adorned in the iconic Carhartt design patterns, boasting the name 'WIP3.' The new WIP3 sneakers are highly limited, with only eight pairs made. The colorway draws inspiration from workwear sensibilities with color-blocked uppers. The shoe is constructed from a series of textiles including pure silk tartan, premium calf suede and quality kangaroo leather materials. There is also a decoration of Carhartt branding accents throughout the piece.
The WIP3 is further elevated with its hand-punched eyelets with stainless elements, pig suede vamp lining, full lambskin liner, buffalo vegetable-tanned pull tabs and Japanese baby yearling vegetable-tanned leather patchwork details. The limited sneakers will be crafted to order with respective sizing and personalized details beginning July 27th online at BespokeIND.
