Jacinta Conza has made a counting book for both children and sneaker heads-in-training. The graphic book includes detailed graphic designs of the iconic Air Jordan sneaker series from I to X.
Entirely hand-made by Conza herself, the book features drawn replications of the sneakers we have known to love since the 1980s. The layout is stylistically presented as a children's 'picture book' and each number is in accordance to the actual Jordan model itself. The book was created with an accompanying box, which features an all-around elephant cement print -- an ode to the original Air Jordan III model.
While only featured as one-to-one book, Conza's idea may spark a need for children and aspiring sneaker heads alike.
