Sneaker customizer Martin Figueroa-Ramirez is better known around these parts as ROM thanks to a range of work on the Air Joran 1 Retro High Flyknit and Low silhouettes that push the boundaries of creativitiy in today’s homage-heavy custom culture. But now that he’s an established force in the custom game, ROM has seemingly switched his focus to applying that same level of detail and attention to the hottest trend going: colorway swaps. Following up on the Air Jordan VI-inspired LeBron 8 ‘Oreo’ comes the Air Joran 1 Retro High Flyknit ‘UNDRDG’, a military-themed look inspired by the Nike Brasilia Printed Backpack that manages to go even further than the legendary original by adding the AJIII’s signature Elephant print to the toebox and eyestay. Given the reputation of the UNDFTD AJ4s as one of the all-time grails, we won’t even ask if these are better than their muse, but how does ROM‘s latest stack up against one of the best loved non-bred Jays ever? Click through to see the battle ready metal case and let us know if you’ll be bidding when these 1 of 1s go on sale next Monday, February 13th.
