A Closer Look At The Sneaker
Chiou, a renowned custom sneaker artist known for his unique and dazzling aesthetics, has had his designs grace the feet of celebrities like Ben Affleck, Tom Brady, and Matt Damon. So, it is no surprise that J Balvin has chosen to showcase a custom piece from this revered designer.
This specific design draws inspiration from Balvin’s Rayo album cover, which features a striking image of a chrome car on a white backdrop. An off-white base sets the stage for the chrome detailing that takes over the tongue, midfoot, and collar.
Metallic silver accents further elevate areas like the wing tabs, eyelets, heel tabs, and midsole. To round off the design, the sneakers feature a vintage-looking midsole and a light grey rubber outsole, complemented by crisp white laces that seamlessly blend the elements together.
What We Like About The Sneakers
While the design maintains a simple aesthetic, the chrome elements provide just enough flair to make the sneaker truly stand out. It’s a perfect blend of minimalism and striking detail, leaving us wishing for a broader release of this pair.
