Sneakerheads have been anticipating a new Union x Air Jordan 1 High for quite some time now. But while the official release is set for 2025, this custom hand-carved leather design by John Trottier (@johnnyskicks_) and Yuang Louis (@louis_yuang) offers a unique and artistic take on the coveted look.

A Closer Look At The Sneaker
The colour scheme of this amazing custom design is straightforward: black and white. White draws attention to the collar area, while black covers the entire bottom half of the shoe. However, hand-carved elements, such as elaborate swirling patterns and the Japanese Seigaiha wave pattern, are etched into the leather to enhance the design. Finally, blacked-out profile Swooshes, an all-black sole unit, and two-toned laces complete the pair.
What We Like About The Sneakers
This pair strikes the perfect balance between a classic and subtle color palette and intricate craftsmanship. The unique and complex details add a touch of sophistication, making these sneakers a true work of art. The attention to detail is hard to ignore, and we can only imagine these being appropriate for special occasions.
