There is rarely a sunset-themed sneaker design that we don’t enjoy. Whether official releases like J Balvin’s “Rio” and “Medellín Sunset” Jordan 3s or beautiful custom designs, it’s difficult to deny the appeal of a vibrant sunset colourway on a classic silhouette. Take, for example, Vick Almighty’s (@vickalmighty) “Arizona Sunset” Air Jordan 1s.
A Closer Look At The Sneaker
The base pair for this sneaker design is the Air Jordan 1 “Denim,” released in 2022. Vick Almighty expertly transformed the denim upper into a stunning sunset-inspired colour scheme, blending shades of yellow, orange, pink, blue, and purple seamlessly across the distressed denim overlays. The base of the design was then painted light blue, with glossy pink accents on the collar. Even the stitching on the sole unit has been meticulously dyed to match the upper’s vibrant colours. The final touch is a 3M Nike logo on the ankle flap, replacing the standard Jordan 1 wings branding.
Is The “Arizona Sunset” Air Jordan 1 Available For Purchase?
Although it’s possible to commission Vick Almighty to create a pair of sunset-inspired kicks, you could also DIY the “Arizona Sunset” Air Jordan 1 design all on your own. For ideas and tips on how to get a similar look, you can watch the sneaker artist create this custom pair on the RESHOEVN8R YouTube channel. All you have to do is buy a pair of ‘Denim’ Air Jordan 1 sneakers on resale sites (which can even be purchased for less than their original retail price) and use fabric dye and bleach to create the sunset effect yourself.
Meanwhile, if you like the sunset aesthetic, there are plenty of other looks on our site to inspire your next pair, including the “Island Sunset” Air Force 1s sneakers, the Off-White x Air Jordan 4 Retro “Dusk” and even a “Virgil Was Here” Louis Vuitton Trainer.
