Sneaker designer @searleivy utilized a fresh pair of Virgil Abloh x Air Jordan 1 as the canvas for a truly unique pair of bespoke sneakers. For the custom, the high-top shoe’s rubber soles are swapped for the multi-layered version of the notorious Balenciaga Triple S Sneaker. The designer expressed to HYPEBEAST that he had to hollow out the footbed of the Triple S soles to fit the AJ1s. Collectively, the custom is a one of one.

Peep the customized pair above and let us know your thoughts. In related news, we recently spoke with top buyers to see if chunky sneakers will still be a trend in 2018.
