Luxe sneaker designer The Shoe Surgeon unveils the new 'Lux Union' pack, which takes a classic Jordan Brand silhouette as the foundation. He uses the 'Air Jordan 1' sneakers and adorns the piece in rich hues of black, blue, cream, and red. Notably, the construction highlights a snakeskin makeup, featuring scale-like elements all throughout the uppers. The sneakers also come with a golden "split-backed python" to follow the textile theme and rough collars made from leather materials.
Additional accents include the zig-zag details and careful hand-crafted construction. The special Lux Union pack is comprised of a 'Storm Blue Air Jordan 1' and a 'Black Toe Air.' The premium selection is now available for purchase online at The Shoe Surgeon for $5,000 USD a pair.
