Back in 2002, Nike SB unveiled a Paris-themed Dunk that swiftly ascended to legendary status in the sneaker world. These special editions were part of a collection celebrating the profound impact iconic cities like Paris have had on skate culture. Now, with the 2024 Summer Olympics putting Paris in the global spotlight again, the Air Jordan 1 “Paris” custom arrives at the perfect moment, seamlessly blending Parisian artistry with the Nike SB’s historic influence. Let’s check out this timely and relevant design by sneaker artist Margiello (@margiello_).

A Closer Look At The Air Jordan 1 “Paris”
The AJ1 custom features the same neutral tan suede base as its muse, with canvas overlays adorned with vibrant artwork by French painter Bernard Buffet. The profile Swooshes and tongue sport red accents, while branding details on the tags resemble the Nike SB Dunk rather than the traditional AJ1 branding. To finish, the sneakers boast a classic white midsole and black rubber outsole that seamlessly pull the entire look together.
What We Like About The Sneakers
