Few things compare to the thrill of unboxing a fresh pair of kicks on Christmas morning. But imagine opening a box to find a pair of custom Air Jordan sneakers created from one of your own designs. That’s exactly what happened to this young sneakerhead. Thanks to his loving parents and the help of custom shoe artist Niko Barber, a.k.a. @neeks_custom_sneaks, this young boy’s Christmas sneaker dreams came true.

A Special Letter To Santa & A Custom Sneaker Artist
It all started with a simple but special letter to Santa that included a one-of-a-kind sneaker design by the young lad. The design? Air Jordan 1 Mids inspired by his love for desserts. While most kids this age dream of toys and video games, this young boy had his heart set on a special pair of dessert-themed sneakers.
In a surprising twist, Niko Barber, known for his dessert-themed custom kicks that range from cake-inspired heels to doughnut-decorated Air Force 1s, came to the rescue of his loving parents – replicating every detail from the original drawing – just in time for Christmas.
The result is a pair of Air Jordan 1 Mids unlike any other, complete with waffle cone panels, bubblegum blue overlays, and ice cream drips on the Swooshes, collar, and toe box. You have to see it to believe it.
