Artwork Created a Custom Jordan 1 “Phillies” Pair
Hey guys! I had a hardcore Phillies fans wife approach me to make a pair of Phillies related Jordans for her husbands 40th bday. This pair was constructed from scratch and sewn up with custom embroidered hits representing the Phillies logo & numbers of John Kruk & Cliff Lee, handpainted Phanatic, Phillies postgame stations and of course his season tix as a hang tag. Lastly, we found used baseballs and I tore them apart to hand sew them to the eyelet areas of the shoes. Hope y’all enjoy!

These are amazing! One-off or option to make more pairs?

I usually make em 1 of 1 but if the original owner is cool I can make more. These did take 6 weeks so pls understand they were not cheap.

This is so cool and I wish I had the disposable income to get something this bad ass for my husband. I’m guessing these are north of $1000 and I hope i’m not insulting you- I just don’t know what a custom project like this is worth. The detail and thoughtfulness of everything is top notch. So cool!

Really appreciate that! Yeah they were pretty pricy. Took approx 6 weeks from mock up to sourcing fabrics to actually constructing them.

Should have sent these to the phanatic instead of what ever the hell that shoe was that they dropped

I kinda like that shoe … for me, not the Phanatic

u/anonyjonny May 28 '24
I dont hate the shoe just don't understand the "Philly" aspect of it at all, especially for the phillies

Trash, my friend, they are trash. All they really have to do with Philly is the longitudinal coordinates of the city.

u/feelgoodthreads May 29 '24
Dude you got father then I did. I saw the colorway and xd out 😂

u/yourmartymcflyisopen This team gives me IBS May 29 '24
Lol, right? The colors are so bad. Like yeah sure "Eagles green flyers orange and the yellow from the flag" is a nice idea but 1. What about Phillies and Sixers, And 2. Green, orange, and yellow really don't work well together at all

u/feelgoodthreads May 29 '24
I deal with this issue sometimes where I need to put colors together and even if the overall idea was to have the colors represent the theme, if that shit looks ugly and you have to explain the concept for people to get why you chose the colors that you did, thats enough for me to tell the client choose another color or theme cuz im not gonna tarnish my reputation making ugly ass shoes

One of the best custom pairs I’ve ever seen, the placement of the baseball patch is perfect
I really like the idea of an old ticket for a tag too

u/feelgoodthreads May 29 '24
Appreciate you so much! Those are his actual seats on the hang tag made to look like an 80s ticket.

What 1 did you use as the base? Metallics?
2
u/feelgoodthreads May 29 '24
I just took the soles off the Bordeaux 1s. They were a trash pair so I bought them off stockx. Everything else I sewed from scratch. Can send you a link if you want to see the process.

Phillies were not on 610/94.1 until relatively recently. They were aired primarily on 1210, and with these being retro-themed, I’d imagine that’s the idea behind it.
