Bespoke custom sneakers have taken off in the past few years and there are still a few that are cut from a different cloth such as the crew at Foxtrot Uniform<\/a><\/strong>. Recently, we’ve caught up with them about their custom Air Jordan 1<\/a><\/strong> for Caleb Plant which takes inspiration from a pair of custom AJ1s made for his Airness himself. Check out our Q&A below. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NK: How did you and Caleb connect? Who came up with the concept? And what was the brainstorming process like?<\/strong>

As far as I know, his agent Crystal reached out to us. We were stoked and later found out that Caleb was already a customer of ours.

NK: The inspiration came from the AJ 1 that Michael Jordan wore after coming back from a broken foot but you put your own spin on it with the eyelets and dubraes. What was the inspiration for that?<\/strong>

Crystal explained a scenario that it’s all about the “moment” where Caleb steps off the plane the camera captures his outfit. Sneakers are a big part of Caleb’s identity and he requested a pair of Chicago 1s. He wanted it to have a vintage sole like one of the pairs we had on our secret site and also wanted it to be in good shape. Thinking how small a pair of shoes were in a photo, we upped the game by suggesting a pair of Rehabs because it’s a Chicago but the straps and buckles were distinct. Caleb was stoked and agreed to it. He also requested for it to be fully loaded with Foxtrot hardware and accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
