The Shoe Surgeon Lasers the Air Jordan 1
When it comes to being a sneaker lover, there are many alluring traits. One commonality amongst most sneakerheads is the constant chase for footwear exclusivity. In this current climate of collaborations, extremely limited drops, and hype releases, the reseller market has redefined the term ‘exclusivity’ to mean ‘who’s willing to spend the most money’, but there is still a line and that, my friends, is a one-of-one bespoke custom.

Over his career, The Shoe Surgeon has produced the highest calibre of one-offs, with the latest being an in partnership with Corey Divine, an LA-based tattoo artist.
Apart from being constructed with the highest quality materials, the upper of this one-of-a-kind creation has been laser engraved by Divine using his signature geometric tattoo style. If flexing a one-off piece of sneaker-art doesn’t sit near the top of your list of sneaker-aspirations, we’d really like to know what does.
