Inspired by the classics almost impossible to obtain, renowned sneaker customizer SBTG crafts his own replica of Michael Jordan’s game-worn pair of Air Jordan 1s donned fresh out of his injury rehab. Scouring eBay for 1985 pairs of the coveted Chicago colorway and perusing high value auctions for every single detail ascertainable, the notable imprint has taken on this lofty task as more of a personal project, a culmination of Mr. SBTG’s career thus far. In a co-effort with leather artisan Secondnatvre, the pair’s dissection is done quite true-to-form; incisions are made right underneath the ankle flaps and then looped through are black straps that stitch right at the edge of the midsole. Silver metallic hardware as well as their black webbing are mimic that of MJ’s own pair with the colorway and aged effect only adding further connection to collector’s item worth over $50,000. Grab a detailed look at the team’s work right below, and if you’re trying to give the same treatment to your own pairs, then find the service available for purchase at sbtgsurplus.com.
