The Shoe Surgeon – Kentucky Derby AJ1

Inspired by the iconic history and ornate tradition of the Kentucky Derby, we teamed up with the Trifecta Gala and The V Foundation to bring you these custom “Front Runner” Air Jordan 1’s. Only 5 pairs made.

We’re giving a pair of these exclusive sneakers to two lucky winners to help drive awareness and raise funds for The V Foundation for Cancer Research. Click below to purchase a ticket to enter for a chance to win.

The shoe was designed in the iconic “Chicago” Air Jordan 1 color way, reimagined by pulling in inspiration from the beloved traditions of the Kentucky Derby. Laser etched and hand-dyed red on veg tanned leather is a rose pattern, meant to embody the “Garland of Roses” that the winner of the derby receives.

The black hair-on calf leather was used to give the shoe a touch of “horse” or “pony” vibes. While the swooshes act as race horses themselves with the embroidered jockey sitting atop. White smooth leather was used to round out the popular color way in a clean and orderly way.
