Inspired by Virgil Abloh’s Spring-Summer 22’ Louis Vuitton x Nike collaboration, I reimagined the Air Jordan 1 silhouette, merging Nike’s performance heritage with Louis Vuitton’s craftsmanship to create a new, iconic sneaker concept.
The problem: The challenge was to honor both brands’ legacies while delivering a design that felt fresh, luxurious, and culturally relevant—a balance of performance, aesthetic, and storytelling.
The attempt at relief: I selected premium materials—calfskin leather, natural cowhide trim, Alcantara microfiber, and LV canvas—and incorporated signature Louis Vuitton stitching alongside AJ1 structural details. Design elements included a non-curl toe box with monogram detailing, dual swooshes with textured layering and Off-White–inspired stitching, and a dense date stamp marking authenticity on the sole and inner heel.
The solution: The Air Jordan 1 x Louis Vuitton concept fuses performance, luxury, and cultural storytelling. Every detail—from the exclusive sole pattern and pivot point branding to the refined materials and monogram accents—elevates a classic silhouette into a statement of craftsmanship and innovation. This concept celebrates the power of thoughtful design to transform collaboration into an enduring, iconic legacy.
