Matcha-Inspired High-Top Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Air Jordan 1 Design by Chase Shiel is Relevant for the Times

— December 10, 2018 — Fashion
This Air Jordan 1 design is attention-captivating both by way of its green silhouette, as well as its presentation. Created by shoe customizer Chase Shiel, the bespoke footwear has become a part of photographer @Ryustyler's #DeliciousKicks series. This is a collection of images that sees sneakers paired up with food, whether that be because of a color or a texture match.

The matcha-inspired Air Jordan 1 design is bound to turn heads on a few occasions. For one, Chase Shiel and @Ryustyler embrace sneaker culture with this product — a community that has been thriving of recent. Moreover, the creative professionals tap matcha for inspiration and the powder has been finding its way to North American cuisine for the past year or so. In addition, Shiel used the finest materials to build the shoe — four premium types of leather, custom-dyed nubuck, and suede.
