Custom sneaker artists are constantly pushing the sneaker game to new heights with their creative designs. Whether it’s reimagining colourways from popular collaborations, paying homage to iconic moments in pop culture, or simply staying current with the latest trends, the custom Jordan 1 sneakers they’ve created in 2024, in particular, have been nothing short of incredible. Let’s look at some of our favourite pairs so far.
1. Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low “Phantom”
Sneaker customisers Savoir-Faire Paris updated Travis Scott’s Air Jordan 1 Low “Phantom” with a black and white bandana fabric on the toe box and quarter panels. Although it is a minor change, it gives the collaboration a distinct appearance.
2. Air Jordan 1 “Paris”
We get excited whenever we see beloved sneakers reimagined on fresh silhouettes. This year, Polish shoemaker Margiello created a custom Air Jordan 1 sneaker based on the popular 2002 “Paris” Nike SB Dunks. The design has the same muted tan suede base and canvas overlays decorated with the vivid artwork of French painter Bernard Buffet.
3. Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High “White/Phantom”
A black and white Air Jordan is always a show-stopper, especially when the colour blocking is flawless. And Maison Gabrielli’s Off-White x Air Jordan 1 High “White/Phantom” custom undoubtedly lives up to expectations.
4. “Quiet Luxury” Air Jordan 1 Low Pack
An understated colour scheme and premium materials define the “Quiet Luxury” Air Jordan 1 Low Pack by Jordan Diab. The pack contains two colourways that are inversely mirrored but have a brown suede base. Because each pair is so perfectly balanced, pairing them together would still result in a stylish look.
5. Clown Prince of Crime” Jordan 1 High
Stomping Ground Customs’ handpainted Jordan 1 sneakers are a tribute to Heath Ledger’s iconic portrayal of the Marvel villain in The Dark Knight. The shoe has the Joker’s signature colours, hand-painted smiley Swooshes that capture his sinister grin and a worn-out feel to mimic his distinctive cracked makeup. Fans of the Clown Prince of Crime will love this pair.
6. Air Jordan 1 Low “Monotaro Denim”
Denim-on-denim has been a major trend in 2024, and KICKXOTIC’s Air Jordan 1 Low custom looks great in a Canadian tuxedo. The design includes premium Japanese denim in various washes, tan leather patches, and tiny copper buttons to finish the look.
7. Off-White x Air Jordan 1 “Red”
Although we always think an all-red pair is fantastic, the exotic leathers on this Jonathan Vargas custom Jordan sneaker add even more of a bold statement to an already striking design. Let’s face it: these are impossible to ignore.
8. Air Jordan 1 Luxe “Black & Gold”
Black and gold always pair well together. Something about the combo is inherently luxe. But adding premium materials like python leather only elevates the opulence. Just take a look at this exquisite custom by Shoe Cutterz.
9. Travis Scott x Jordan 1 Low “Safari”
Sneaker customiser @jthecordwainer added his unique spin to the Travis Scott x Jordan 1 Low. These custom Jordan 1 sneakers are made of a variety of premium materials, including S.B. Foot Mohave, Artigiani del Cuoio Old Fashion, and Jillian Goat Skin. However, the most distinguishing feature of these custom Jordan sneakers is the black Suede Safari material that covers the toes and reversed Swooshes, providing a fun textural contrast.
10. Gucci x Air Jordan 1 “Serpent”
We’ve long wondered what a Gucci-Air Jordan collaboration would look like, and Raul Escobar’s “Serpent”-inspired design provides a glimpse into that fantasy. The pair combines Gucci’s green and red colour scheme with a snakeskin texture on the upper and Kingsnake detailing. No doubt, this pair exudes luxury.
