When it comes to sneaker customizers, there are guys who add paint and tacky graphics to existing silhouettes, and then there is JBF Customs, who strips apart some of the footwear world's most iconic pairs and re-assembles them with obnoxiously luxe materials.
Like this "Black Toe" Air Jordan 1, made entirely of python and alligator.
Each panel has been precisely cut to follow the shoe's original shape and pattern, leaving you with a final product that at first glance looks factory made, and on a second look incorporates a great combination of texture.
Check out JBF's latest "incomparable" work below, and follow him on Instagram for a gallery of his past creations.
