Over 60 hrs of work created a pair of bespoke Air Jordan 1's. The process of making a pair of sneakers is straightforward: cut leather, sew leather, stretch leather, glue on sole.
Even with a straightforward process, the shoe maker has the ability to put creativity and innovation into each pair he creates.
Its All A Process
There were early mornings and late nights, but it was all worth it. Stitching the leather was the toughest part for me. A crooked stitch meant the thread had to be removed and that piece of leather might need to be replaced. There was no room for error.

I'm extremely proud of what I created. From the flyknit and leathers down to the lasting and stitching, I made it. I have a Nike sole and a swoosh, but it was made by Aaron.

The 11 students came from different backgrounds, but all shared a love for sneakers and making. Throughout the whole class, we learned and worked together. Everyone helped each other realize thier creations. I was grateful and inspired by the way we worked together as a team.
