Sneaker enthusiasts are still holding out for the day when a Louis Vuitton x Air Jordan 1 collaboration finally becomes a reality. The excitement for a fusion of Louis Vuitton’s luxury with Jordan Brand’s legacy continues to build, particularly with the Jumpman Label’s milestone 40th anniversary on the horizon. While we wait for the full unveilings of next year’s lineup—with whispers of a dazzling Swarovski-encrusted AJ1 already causing a stir—we have our imaginations and some stunning custom designs to tide us over. Take, for example, these bespoke Louis Vuitton x Air Jordan 1 sneakers, valued at a whopping $10,000 USD.
A Closer Look At The Sneaker
Admittedly, the price tag is steep, but that’s the nature of luxury customs featuring Louis Vuitton materials on the beloved Air Jordan 1 silhouette.
The sneaker showcases LV’s silver iridescent monogrammed material, reminiscent of Virgil Abloh’s Prism bag pieces, which debuted in the brand’s Fall Winter 2019 men’s runway collection.
The sneaker’s base has a subtle orange hue, while the overlays glimmer in silver, purple, and blue—likely a simple trick of the light. To unify the look, the design is completed with a classic white midsole, grey rubber outsole, and crisp white laces.
Admittedly, it’s not the most captivating colourway we could imagine coming from these two fashion powerhouses, especially considering Louis Vuitton’s extensive fabric repertoire. However, it does present an intriguing twist on an iconic silhouette.
Why We Need a Louis Vuitton x Air Jordan 1 Collab
Currently, this custom pair is available for $10,000 USD, as per a video on @sole_loco. Given that the Louis Vuitton x Nike Air Force 1s were sold for a more modest fraction of that price (though still in the thousands), it’s apparent that a Louis Vuitton x Air Jordan 1 collab is a much-needed luxury. The multitude of custom Louis Vuitton x Air Jordan 1 designs out there attests to the public’s desire for just such a partnership.
As we eagerly await these dream collaborations, we’re also keeping a keen eye on the exciting releases promised for next year. Start saving for gems like the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Shy Pink” and The A Ma Maniére x Air Jordan 5 “Diffused Blue”.
