“Inspired by one of the best agents in the world of hoops.” 

He is one of the best basketball agents on the planet. Beside this fact, the story of his journey called life was worth creating one of the most complex designs we’ve ever done, both in terms of storytelling and, execution.

Over a pair of Nike Air Jordan 1 Lows, we went for B&W freehand, paintbrush-only, painting clinic.
The right shoe is devoted to Alex’ ethernal home – Greece , depicting Apollo rounded by ancient Greek shield and hellenic ornaments – and his present home of Chicago – visualized thru 1920’s Prohibition style ride and streetscape, concluded with stylish art-deco ornaments.
The left shoe is devoted to the places where he grew up, as utterly important in becoming who he is today. In that manner, the traditional Aztec sculpture-inspired lateral pays tribute to his upbringing in Mexico, while the ever-lasting combo of koi fish, traditional japanese waves and cherry blossoms tributes Tokyo, Japan .

Last but not least, the “historical dimension” of the design take roots in Alex’ Political Sciences background – studies where knowing history is imminent for knowing the future.
