For the Halloween season, the Shoe Surgeon reworked the OFF-WHITE Air Jordan 1 producing a spooky, orange-accented edition and now, the footwear designer is adding a new spin to the python sneakers with a Murakami influence. The new bespoke shoe pair features a textured and colorful silhouette with a total of 12 colors, tonal stitching and hits of Italian suede. The design pays tribute to the artist's iconic Flower motif. This custom footwear piece is an example of how sneaker culture is deeply intertwined into the artistic community.
Extracting the value out of the materials and the hidden meaning behind the sources of inspiration, the Shoe Surgeon is able to create a pair of sleek python sneakers that are expressive, unique and exceptionally luxurious.
Retailing for $3,500 USD, the OFF-WHITE Air Jordan 1 will be considered a definite steal.
