When it comes to the quality of materials (leather) used, the Air Jordan 1 Shattered Backboard is considered one of the best Jordan Brand drops in quite some time. The soft supple leather used on the upper goes unmatched. So what can possible be done on the model to make it look better, quality-wise? Enter the Shoe Surgeon.

Known for taking a dope and making it even doper (is that even a word), the Shoe Surgeon completely transforms the Air Jordan 1 and makes it into a true work of art. The LA-based artist gives the classic all-leather Air Jordan 1 colorway a brand new look by giving it a premium black nubuck upper and pairing it up with a burnt Orange python on the heel and toe. As a finishing touch, he also utilizes White goat Italian leather to add even more of a premium feel to them. Want a pair? Word has it that The Shoe Surgeon will be releasing a total of 10 pairs on January 20th. Head on over to his site for more info on how to secure a pair.
