Simplicity can be beautiful. This holds true for many things in life, but even more so when it comes to sneakers. Less often is so much more. Sneaker artist Jordan Diab certainly advocates for this approach with his custom Air Jordan 1 High OG “Cream & Sugar.”
The colour scheme of this shoe might be a straightforward combination of ivory and brown, but the premium materials elevate the overall look. Think creamy tumbled leather on the base and chocolatey alligator collars and Swooshes.
For even more textural variation, the toe, eyestays, heel, and ankle are all made of smooth ivory leather. The sneaker also opts for a white-and-brown sole, as well as brown laces and branding accents to tie the look together. It possibly goes without saying, but this design is truly a schooling in elevated simplicity.
Unfortunately, this particular style is one of Diab’s exclusive designs, meaning it was tailored-made for one of his clients. Of course, you still have the opportunity to commission a design of your own from this gifted artist. To have Diab create something special just for you, message him via Instagram.
You can also take a moment to appreciate some of Jordan’s other spectacular creations, including his “Tar Heels” Air Jordan 1 High ’85 and “Quiet Luxury” AJ1 sneaker pack.
