When you think of the best “Clown Prince of Crime,” you probably think of Heath Ledger. His memorable role in The Dark Knight is a big part of his acting legacy. Well, inspired by Ledger’s amazing portrayal of Joker, Stomping Ground Customs created the beautiful “Clown Prince of Crime” Jordan 1 High custom sneakers.

A Closer Look at the Sneaker Design
The shoe features shades of purple and emerald green that are inspired by the Joker’s signature colours. However, the purple used on the overlays is slightly lighter than the deep purple we usually associate with the Clown Prince of Crime’s trademark costume.
Another detail worth noting is the sneaker’s distressed look. The weathered feel is meant to mimic the Joker’s distinct cracked makeup.
We also can’t overlook the hand-painted smiley Swooshes that perfectly capture the Joker’s eerie grin.
Other cool details include paint splatters, ‘laughter’ text throughout, “Bang” text on the toe box, and a portrait of Heath Ledger’s Joker peaking out from behind the Swoosh logo.
What We Like About the Sneakers
This shoe is filled with playful details inspired by Heath Ledger’s memorable performance. We’re particularly impressed with its chaotic look. After all, nothing screams Joker quite like chaos.
