Sneaker customizers XYLAR Studio has joined forces with Simple Union to remaster Jordan Brand‘s coveted Air Jordan 1 model with a Canadian tuxedo makeover.

Fully hand-crafted, the majority of this denim’d out AJ1 Retro Hi has been crafted from various colored vintage Japanese Indigo fabrics, while luxe lambskin leather has been used for the inner liner. Built entirely from scratch, each pair is entirely unique seeing the only remaining part from the original silhouette being the soles.

You can pre-order your own pair of handmade “Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro Hi OG Indigo” on Simple Union’s site until February 28.

For more custom sneakers, these AJ1s evokes the art of matcha.
