The Air Jordan XI Low 'Red Python' sneakers make your feet look deadly when you're on the court. Designed by CMB Kicks, the custom Air Jordans are adorned with vibrant red python scales. The modified sneakers emphasize the iconic footwear design from Nike and augments it with a unique skin. Instead of using patent leather for the toe box, CMB opted to use bright red snake skin.
CMB kicks is a footwear retailer in New Jersey, New York. Though the modified sneakers look amazing, they won't be picked up by any major footwear brands for some time. Brands like Nike have pledged to stop using real animal skins at a large-scale. As a result, footwear lovers looking for snakeskin sneakers will have to look elsewhere for reptilian kicks.
