Not many have the cojones to take a pair of heavy duty scissors to their Air Jordan Retros, but Freehand Profit has steadily proven his skills as one of the best sneaker surgeons out there. He’s slowly building a quirky legacy as one of the most unique sneaker customizers out there, reconstituting Air Jordans into gas masks (what you do with them is entirely up to you). His latest creation and first release of 2012 is with the Air Jordan III Black/Cement, but if you’re already anticipating a ‘Concord’ gas mask, no need to fret because he’s confirmed those as well. Check out the gallery of his latest sneaker gas mask and if you want to add these to your collection of miscellaneous goodies, go to the Freehand Profit online shop.

I get that it is art, but is anyone else not seeing the connection here?
January 17th, 2012 at 6:09 pm
yeah.. but whatever.. he paid for them..so we can't say shit to this guy.
January 17th, 2012 at 6:11 pm
Where can I get that shirt!!!??
January 17th, 2012 at 6:13 pm
these gas masks are getting annoying now
January 17th, 2012 at 6:15 pm
i guess the connection is that sometimes kicks can stink like a motherfucker. (?)

Does The gasmask actually work ? Or is it all show ? .___.
January 17th, 2012 at 6:22 pm
One real head can't rack their kicks because this asshole cut them up
January 17th, 2012 at 6:33 pm
Dumb idea, or dumbest idea?
January 17th, 2012 at 6:39 pm
CANT HE MAKE SOMETHING MORE PRACTICAL OR DOES HE JUST HAVE HIS DEGREE IN GAS MASKING
January 17th, 2012 at 6:43 pm
IIt be 10 times better if there was a big Jordan 3 Bong attached to the end of the gasmask
January 17th, 2012 at 6:47 pm
Can anyone shed some light on why this is cool? Been collecting J's for over 20 years now and i dont understand the gas mask thing, I have no want to wear that thing unless it can put those 3's back on my feet!!!!
January 17th, 2012 at 6:58 pm
Enough already! This shit is getting old!
January 17th, 2012 at 7:09 pm
Those were perfectly good pair of cement 3's that somebody wanted but couldn't get cuz they didn't get they check in time. But this asshole decides to mess them up. I hate ppl who wear Jordan because of fashion and trends. I collect Jordan's because the love I have for the game and what basketball represent. It's not just a sport. Basketball is a way of life

I hope this gas mask does work to filter out some of yall hating ass comments! Go chew some barwire gum and gargle Listerine ASAP!
January 17th, 2012 at 7:19 pm
man those gas masks go h.a.m
January 17th, 2012 at 7:28 pm
Can someone please tell me why a gas mask? Is there any other use for it apart from the obvious???? Looks great though.
January 17th, 2012 at 7:37 pm
the connection is thats he's a sneaker head wearing sneakers on his head
January 17th, 2012 at 8:05 pm
the gas mask thing isn't annoying its just seeing the almighty Jordan 3 blk/cements being mutilated
January 17th, 2012 at 8:37 pm
He is a sneaker head and I take it he like graffiti. Also if you check his link it may say that it is a MASK365 project where the mask is the base of the art project.

You must be damn foolish if you think this is actually meant for street wear; Its obviously an art piece.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:13 pm
Well, no. Haha. Unless you like scaring little kids. Then you could use this for that.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:42 pm
He should make some J's out of gas masks for his feet.
January 17th, 2012 at 9:46 pm
Lol another gas mask. Someones either thinking about MW3 to much or just smokes a lot of weed cuz those are the only 2 things a gas mask can relate to now a days.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:09 pm
Met him at Sneaker Con. You can actually blaze out of the masks if that helps everyone here and they look cool a$$ fcuk. They're one of a kind works of art and when he creates a whole series of them a gallery would be awesome. If people here don't get it then ya just a bunch of hood boogers who dont understand art.
January 17th, 2012 at 10:12 pm
Not only does it work to protect these retards here from inhaling anymore Asbestos but you can also smoke out of it
January 17th, 2012 at 10:27 pm

January 17th, 2012 at 10:39 pm

January 18th, 2012 at 12:42 am

January 18th, 2012 at 12:58 am

January 18th, 2012 at 1:21 am

January 18th, 2012 at 1:00 pm
The shoes cost $160 a pair. He's charging $1,500 per mask, and they're selling.
January 18th, 2012 at 3:32 pm

January 18th, 2012 at 9:18 pm
Technically he's a reseller and is trying to sell 2 pairs in the form of a mask for over a grand.
