Basketball-Inspired Reconstructed Sneakers

The Shoe Surgeon's New Creation is Targeted at NBA Fans

— February 28, 2019 — Fashion
The Shoe Surgeon debuts a new pair of reconstructed sneakers and this one is sure to excite basketball fans. The model takes on the silhouette of the Nike Air Jordan 1s and it is completed in collaboration with the Golden State Warriors. As a result, the bespoke pair boasts the color palette of the team — blue and gold. What makes the reconstructed sneakers really special, however, is their degree of authenticity. To outfit the design, the Shoe Surgeon used the nets from the 2018 NBA Finals, as well as Golden State Warriors' team jerseys. The attention to detail and the sourcing of materials is what really makes these Nike Air Jordan 1s special.

In addition, there are only six pairs available of the reconstructed sneakers, making this drop extremely valuable for sneakerheads.
