The very talented custom sneaker makers 'The Shoe Surgeon' used special brass patina accents to create a pair of Air Jordans.

These exclusive sneakers will not be released to the public, but instead were commissioned to be made for 'Transformers:The Last Knight' star Mark Wahlberg. Inspired by the character 'Bumble Bee,' these sneakers are made of yellow leather with brass patina accents. The metal accents are imprinted with the Transformers logo and are seen on the heel and wings of the laces. These priceless sneakers are one of a kind.

It is not unusual for the Jordan brand to call upon custom sneaker makers to commemorate pop culture event with one-of-a-kind or limited edition pieces. The newest installment of the Transformers franchise is in theaters now.
