Anyone who experienced the 2000s firsthand will remember how denim practically dominated the fashion scene. But it went beyond just jeans. You could find denim covering almost anything you needed or wanted, including sneakers. As we know, fashion loves a good revival, and denim-inspired footwear is enjoying another moment in the spotlight…especially in the Jordan camp. That said, it could definitely do with a more luxe approach than in the noughties. These Air Jordan 1 Low “Monotaro Denim” sneakers by KICKXOTIC offer precisely that.
These boujee denim sneakers aren’t made from just any run-of-the-mill denim fabric; they happen to be crafted from high-quality Momotaro Jeans. For those who aren’t in the know, Momotaro Jeans is one of the leading denim brands in Japan and is definitely known for its premium quality.
KICKXOTIC revamped the uppers of a Jordan 1 Low with a blend of dark and light-washed denim. They’ve also added tan leather patches on the heel tab and tongue, plus a matching tab to secure the laces. And those tiny copper buttons on the heel? They give the sneaker that extra luxe feel.
All this denim splendour sits atop a white midsole and a black rubber outsole. They’re definitely a chic pair to complete your Canadian Tuxedo (denim-on-denim ensemble) or add some flair to the rotation.
If looks alone don’t entice you, the brand also offers customisation options for an extra fee. You can add your initials, logos, distinct embroidery, or customised insoles to the design.
If you are eyeing a pair of these premium denim sneakers, your best bet is to head straight to the KICKXOTIC website to make a purchase. These beauties will set you back $1,299 USD in men’s sizes.
You can also explore other stunning sneaker designs in the meantime, such as the Air Jordan 1 Low x Travis Scott “China Town” sneakers or the Air Max 1 “Denim Tribute”.
