Even though the legitimacy of Jake Paul’s bout with boxing legend Mike Tyson is still up for discussion, it’s clear that the YouTuber-turned-boxer came to show off, well at least in terms of his attire. With fight night gear that cost $1 million USD, including his exclusive, one-of-a-kind Jake Paul x Shoe Surgeon Boxing Shoes, Jake Paul aspired to wear the priciest athletic attire in history. So, let’s take a closer look at the shoes that contributed to that substantial sum.

A Closer Look At The Boxing Shoes

If you’re wondering what makes these shining silver shoes so special, it’s the rows of VVS diamonds flowing from the collar and that jewel-encrusted W on the sides, which happens to be the emblem for his new body care line, W by Jake Paul. The shoe’s sole also features a black and silver pattern with small traces of glitter throughout. So, while the match may not have been a knockout—in more ways than one—at least Jake Paul can say his shoes added some flash to the event.

How To Get Your Own Shoe Surgeon Custom

If these custom shoes caught your eye and you’re interested in creating your own pair of custom shoes with The Shoe Surgeon, you can reach out to them directly through their website to inquire about the custom design process. Keep in mind that custom shoes like these can come with a hefty price tag, but the end result is almost always worth it. 

Until then, be sure to check out more custom and concept designs on our site, from hand-carved leather designs to python leather pairs and even more jewel-encrusted kicks. And don’t forget to follow us at Sneaker Fortress on for more incredible sneaker content and updates on new releases.
