The patchwork trend has been gaining popularity in the world of fashion, even creeping its way into the sneaker industry. From high-end designer brands like Chanel to more affordable streetwear labels like Nike and Vans, these bold and vibrant patchwork designs are making a statement on runways and in the streets. And with the Barbie film creating a pink frenzy that has permeated almost every single aspect of popular culture, it seems only natural that these two trends would eventually collide. Cue in the Air Jordan 1 Low TS “Patchwork Strawberry Cream,” the sneaker that seamlessly combines the iconic AJ1 silhouette with the playful and whimsical patchwork trend and sprinkles on a healthy dose of Ken-inspired flair for good measure.

The sneaker created by Florian Scheuermann (@kraz83kicks) is a one-of-a-kind handcrafted sneaker that features a patchwork printed suede on the toe box, quarter, and tongue, showcasing a variety of colours and patterns from brown paisley to blue plaid.
A strawberry pink leather adorns the toe tip, mudguard, eyestay, and heel, adding a hint of the delicate colour often associated with Barbie and her longtime beau, Ken, to the sneaker.
The medial swoosh is covered in the same pink leather, creating a cohesive and eye-catching design. In contrast, the sneaker’s lateral side includes a reverse swoosh in a cream colour, which subtly contrasts with the vibrant pink.
