With three successful Air Jordan 11 Low Snakeskin releases, one has to wonder if Jordan Brand will ever re-release its White/Navy Snakeskin colorway from 2001. While we play the waiting game, kicks customizer Tony0214 has created his very own version of the sneaker. Instead of using white leather, this custom utilizes black mesh, surrounded by a beautiful deep blue snakeskin fabric. The sneaker’s white and icy blue sole provides a perfect match.

We already got a look at what Nike SB has planned with the “Blue Suede” Dunk Low, and now we have a look at yet another upcoming colorway. The Nike SB Dunk Low “Snakeskin” makes use of black suede, with a matching black snakeskin material placed on the inner panels. A white and black sole does the rest. Not much is known about this colorway so far, but it seems that they won’t be hitting skateshops until 2014.
Many of you are already aware that Jordan Brand is bringing back the White/Pink Snakeskin Air Jordan 11 Low, but what about a colorway for the guys? It remains unknown if Jordan Brand is considering the release of a mens snakeskin 11 Low, but this Bred custom collaboration between Noldo Customs and @nycesociety would definitely do the trick. Starting with what looks to be the White/Red low top model, the upper was dyed black, and the patent leather was replaced with a beautiful red and black snakeskin. The midsole was painted black to match, while the outsole remains translucent red. Jordan Brand would probably never give us such a color scheme, but it sure is nice to dream.

The 2001 version was released in adult sizes, but it looks like this year’s release may be a kids exclusive (the 2001 kids version received pink patent leather).

A white and black sole has been mated to match. On the back it reads “MICHAEL JACKSON”, stitched in gold. Maybe one day, these will see a public release. From VMV.
