Kid Cudi has been bopping around the US for his To The Moon” Tour lately, and during his recent stop in Phoenix, Arizona he received a special pair of Air Jordan 4s that he commissioned RESHOEVN8R’s Vick Almighty to lend his creative touch to. Originally an Air Jordan 4 “Military Black” pair, the kicks have been completely reworked with interstellar colors and elements representative of Cudi’s Man on the Moon Part 1 and Man on the Moon Part 2.

Smooth leather mudguards have been fitted with a purple paint job and come stamped with the hip hop artist’s signature logo towards the rear, and this comes complemented by shaggy suede forefoot overlays that are dyed in a dusted pink. Cages, shoe laces and netting all match up in pink, while the collars are fashioned with a playful purple to pink gradience. Elsewhere on the upper, the Jumpman logos have been remixed with patches that nod to the aforementioned tour while the heel counters feature pink Jordan logos and the insoles split their branding with his moniker. Additionally, LED lights are stationed inside the Air units to give the kicks a glowing effect.

Check out a closer look at the pair above.
