New York-based artist Ceeze and Relevant Customs turn the sporty and classic Nike Air Jordan 1 model into a luxurious sneaker. The limited edition silhouette pays tribute to Virgil Abloh's recent appointment as the menswear designer of Louis Vuitton.
The 'Off-Louis' boast features that mix recognizable luxe signature patterns with Virgil Abloh's designs -- from the OFF-WHITE-inspired signature branding on the medial side of the shoe to a colorway that strongly references the most recognizable colors and patterns of Louis Vuitton.
Highly reminiscent of Abloh's own collaboration with Air Jordan 1, the luxurious sneakers boast a cute design feature with 'LOUIS' and 'VUITTON' appearing on the midsole. At only 10 pairs in production, the custom shoes retail for $4,000 USD.
