A good sneaker design is all about the finer details and quality craftsmanship. These Air Jordan 1 Low Travis Scott “Brogue” sneakers by Roger Hung (@shoecutterz) present both elements impeccably. Styled with exquisite brogue detailing and crafted from premium materials, they exude an air of sophistication and elegance reminiscent of classic menswear designs. This refined approach elevates them above just your average pair of kicks.
The Inspiration Behind the Design
In recent years, brogue details on sneakers have surged in popularity as designers strive to merge classic menswear elements with the edgy vibe of modern streetwear. You might have noticed that Nike has previously flirted with this concept on models like the Nike Dunk Low and Air Force 1.
While we’ve seen Jordan sneakers inspired by premium gentleman’s fashion, the inclusion of timeless brogue detailing is a rarity – if it has ever been done before. So, we always appreciate a custom pair that can bring the best of both worlds to our feet.
This distinct aesthetic of this pair draws from traditional menswear, particularly the classic brogue shoe, renowned for its decorative perforations and elegant wingtip design. These shoes have been a wardrobe staple for well-dressed men since the 19th century, but as sneaker culture evolves, this classic style is finding its way into contemporary footwear.
Combining these traditional menswear elements with the AJ1’s streetwear aesthetics, these sneakers offer a unique and sophisticated touch. Plus, the all-too-familiar reverse Swoosh from Travis Scott’s collaborations on the AJ1 gives these shoes an extra edge.
A Closer Look at the Sneaker Design
The sneaker boasts a beautifully handcrafted upper made from Cognac Veg Tan leather, with Dark Brown Epsom leather adorning the Swooshes and tongue.
Adding to its sophistication, the inner lining is made of dark brown lambskin, and hand-stitched embroidery is found on the tongue, sides, and heel.
However, it’s the intricate brogue-inspired details that truly set this pair apart. For instance, the eye stays, and heel features a lovely serrated pattern, echoing the classic brogue design, while the toe box, eye stays, and heels are further enriched with intricate perforations. Even the side Swooshes showcase a subtle brogue pattern, enhancing the shoe’s overall aesthetic. These meticulous details elevate these sneakers from the ordinary to the extraordinary, showcasing Hung’s impeccable attention to detail and quality craftsmanship all the while.
The look is then completed with an original Air Jordan 1 Low Retro sole unit in a tasteful sail and brown combination. Overall, these sneakers are a true masterpiece, making us appreciate the artistry of custom sneaker design even more.
How To Grab Your Own Custom Pair Of Air Jordan 1 Brogue Sneakers
While the Air Jordan 1 Low Travis Scott “Brogue” was a custom creation tailored for a specific client of Hung’s, you too can indulge in the exclusivity of having a unique pair of gentleman’s sneakers designed just for you.
Keep in mind that these designs come with a considerable price tag, reflecting the premium materials and exceptional craftsmanship involved. However, if you’re aiming for a pair of kicks that merge sophistication with versatility for any occasion, a design from Hung is undoubtedly a sound investment in quality and style.
