AI artist MarkVonRama shared some of his creative designs for a few popular sneakers in iconic colourways. These sneaker-inspired sofas look extra comfy, especially when you consider the soft touch leather replicated from the original kicks.
1. Jordan 4 Retro Off-White Sail Sneaker Sofa
The Off-White Jordan 4 couch is an easy no-brainer for fans of Virgil’s work. It’s also one of the couches that might be in the realm of possibility. After all, we recently saw the release of an Off-White Maybach that starts at $229,000. While a couch won’t cost this much, one that’s inspired by one of the most iconic designers of our era is sure to demand a pretty penny.

2. Jordan 11 Retro Sofa
If you prefer smooth, bouncy couches, the Jordan 11 Retro Bred colourway looks like it will be a lot of fun to lounge on. The spacious design combined with a deep soft material makes it a prime location for lazy Sunday naps. If you’re up for some Saturday binging sessions, it also has that theatric vibe to hold all your snacks in place. During the day, there’s the unmistakable pride that comes with seeing Jordan 11s. Instead of being locked away in your sneaker collection, this colourway will finally have the time to shine in all its glory.
3. Air Jordan Legacy 312 “Pink Camo”
If you’re a maximalist, you’ll immediately feel drawn to the sofa inspired by Pink Camo Jordan 312s. With fur embellishments, the fuzzy material will make a world of differences compared to a regular couch. It also comes equipped with other cool little details that spark up the mind of a maximalist. Once this couch is in your home, it should be complemented by the most outstanding pieces of furniture spread around the living room. After all, the sofa alone can’t steal the show!

Mark Von Rama
Mark Von Rama’s design skills are a combination of AI and Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop allows him to add branding logos and other unique embellishments to complete a look. It’s a testament to how helpful AI can be for design ideations. Instead of hand drawing multiple concepts, it’s faster to grow on a solid concept created by AI.
With creative concepts like this receiving the spotlight, it’s up to the brand owners to begin taking advantage of their audience’s interests. Instead of leaving outlandish pieces at the highest tier of luxury, many fans won’t mind having their favourite sneakers rebranded into household items. Besides, this idea is a lot more useful than something like the Supreme Brick, for example.
