About the Louis Backboard Air Jordan 1 Customs: Louis Backboard Air Jordan 1.. Unfortunately, when many think of custom sneakers, they picture red and white Louis Vuitton or tan and brown Gucci themed Air Force 1 Lows. This used to irritate us to the point that we almost quit customizing because we were so focused on how this trend painted custom sneakers in a negative light. We felt threatened because we thought that the influx of rookie sneaker artists hopping on this trend meant that an even larger number of first-time custom shoe consumers were getting low quality products that would discourage them from commissioning more experienced artists in the future. However, what we once thought would be a six month trend has ended up lasting more than three years. Instead of taking the salty old head position, we’ve learned to embrace this as a sign that there is less of a barrier of entry to sneaker customizing and more of a market of consumers interested in custom shoes.. Creating the Louis Backboard Air Jordan 1s was our way of attempting to challenge others to put their own twist on designer themed customs and to abandon the generic two-tone LV print on the toe box and swoosh of an Air Force 1 trend. The shoes feature a black and orange upper blocked similarly to our “Shattered Blackboard” Jordan 1s (created four years prior to the Shattered Backboard 3.0), but overlayed with contrasting dark grey and dark orange Louis Vuittion patterns. We used a lightly worn Air Jordan 1 Yin Yang as the base shoe and stencils that can be found in our shop.
We only work with authentic base shoes because fakes are lower quality. If you try to supply a fake shoe we will decline the project.
Customs done on used shoes do not last as long due to the wear and tear that they’ve gone through prior to being customized. If you would like us to customize a pair of lightly-worn shoes you will need pre-approval from us.
Our average turnaround time is 2-6 weeks, but this varies project to project and is based on design complexity, workload, and more. Custom jobs are completed in the order that they are received unless a rush fee is paid.
All of our custom work is durable and can be worn though we advise against putting your custom shoes through a lot of stress or constantly wearing them for sports. The more harsh the conditions you wear them in, the more likely they are to receive damage just like any other pair of shoes.
