Hybrid shoes have long been the subject of considerable debate in the sneaker community. Some sneakerheads love seeing various classic silhouettes blended to create a new look, while others despise the very idea. But if one thing can unite both sides of this debate, it’s the Air Jordan 1 sneaker with a Yeezy sole spotted at SneakerCon’s event in Boston—yes, we got Jeezy 1s before GTA 6.

More About The Jordan 1 Yeezy
If you’re thinking that the Yeezy sole shouldn’t be on an Air Jordan 1 upper, you’re absolutely correct. Sneakerheads have been fussing over the unholy marriage of these two famous sneaker styles, so much so that it has caused a bit of a sensation in the sneaker community. However, the creator of these sole swap designs, Sailboat Supplies @sailboatsupplies, has noted that the combination was merely put together for “shock value” and has not been bonded together, as you can tell by the adhesive that is still visible in some places.
While his custom design work does involve distinctive sole replacements for different sneaker models, his typical combinations are far less ridiculous than the nightmare fuel that is the Jeezy 1’s. Consider the creator’s Ultraboost SCREAM and Yeezy 350 hybrid or his adidas Yeezy 700v3 with Yeezy 380 soles; these designs surprisingly pair well together. However, the fiery responses on Sneaker Con’s Instagram page make it clear that not everyone finds these sole switch concepts appealing.
