The tie-dye sneaker is a product of vintage fashion subcultures. As footwear releases are constantly surfacing on the scene, creatives and independent designers take this opportunity to put their foot in the door and showcase their artistic vision. The results are a wonderful selection of limited edition sneakers that boast an eclectic style.
Larry Luk embarks on one such venture with his tie-dye sneaker and jacket combo. The creative taps into the Levi's x Air Jordan collaboration. Released earlier this year, the offerings boast a denim exterior. Using an intricate technique, the designer is successful in translating the light-hearted and fluid aesthetic of tie-dye onto the exterior of both the jacket and the shoes. Thus, Larry Luk produces an ultra-creative iteration of the Levi's x Air Jordan 4 with his tie-dye sneakers.
