Shoe Surgeon J1 Legacy

March 7, 2022. Leave a Comment

The Shoe Surgeon has revealed a custom Air Jordan 1 sneaker, designed as a tribute to Virgil Abloh‘s capsule of Louis Vuitton and Nike Air Force 1 sneakers featured in the label’s spring 2022 collection. Dubbed the J1 High and Low Legacy, the shoe is crafted from authentic Louis Vuitton Damier and logo bags while a raw edge underlay echoes the original design’s piping detail. Paired with a leather orange luggage tag, gold foil logos peek on the lateral side and heel adding depth and dimension.

Repurposing the symbolic pattern, each panel was precisely hand cut and crafted from authentic Louis Vuitton bags. A raw edge underlay echoes the original design’s piping detail. Paired with a leather orange and white luggage tag, gold foil logos peek on the lateral side and heel adding depth and dimension to this staple.

A percentage of the proceeds of the shoes sold will benefit Virgil Abloh’s Post-Modern Scholarship Fund. 

Available in sizes 5.5-17, the Low and High are priced at $7,500 and $10,000 respectively and are available to purchase at thesurgeon.com. The cost includes a sourcing fee for the shoe’s base. You can source your own soles to be used for the customization service at a lower cost.

For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runwa For fall winter 2025 KNWLS opted to forego a runway show and present their collection in a styled lookbook.

Taking inspiration from a feminine Y2K aesthetic, the collection embodies designers Charlotte Knowles and Alexandre Arsenault’s ability to balance sexy and cool. 

In an interview with Vogue, the pair shared that they are currently working on a new design director role in Europe and have several other projects in the pipeline, including another denim project, a collaboration with a jewelry brand, and a menswear capsule for an e-commerce site.

Commenting on the lookbook styling, they shared, "Obviously in the lookbooks it's styled in a quite extreme way, but if you break it down into individual pieces, we've been thinking about merchandising and the customer more than ever before," said Arsenault. "We've seen the team in the studio wearing the pieces differently too, and we've taken that into account. It's a nice challenge to say: 'Okay, we want to make a sweatshirt, but it still has this silhouette or wash or rib detail that makes it feel really Knwls."
