Are you a fan of The Incredibles franchise? If so, you’re probably familiar with Lucius Best, also known as Frozone. He is a suave superhero with the ability to create ice out of thin air, and he has become an icon in the world of animated films. Inspired by his style and frosty allure, we have designed a concept sneaker called the “Frozone” Air Jordan 1, which captures his distinct aesthetics.
Frozone, brilliantly voiced by Samuel L. Jackson, is the essence of cool. His smooth demeanor, slick moves, and iconic ice powers make him hard to overlook. With that in mind, our designer, Brandon Krige, has crafted a tribute to Frozone in the form of the “Frozone” Air Jordan 1 High sneaker.
The shoe features a refreshing mix of turquoise and icy white hues, elevating its cool factor. A stark white leather covers the toe box, collar, eye stays, and heel, mirroring the white aspects of Frozone’s supersuit. This crisp white base serves as a neutral canvas to allow the bold turquoise accents to stand out. The tongue of the sneaker is made of plush suede in a captivating shade of turquoise, paired with matching laces.
One of the standout features of this design is the turquoise satin, which reflects the shiny texture of Frozone’s spandex supersuit. It subtly adorns the toe, quarter panels, and mudguard of the Air Jordan 1 High, creating an almost frosted look. The ankle flap is crafted from textured leather, transitioning from deep turquoise to a lighter hue, adding depth to the design. The wings insignia accents the ankle flap in white with a blue outline, emphasizing the cool, icy theme.
To add an edgy touch, the Nike Swoosh on the sides of the shoe features a cracked leather look, resembling splitting ice. This detail perfectly complements the frosty aesthetic and pays homage to Frozone’s ice manipulation powers. The black midsole and outsole, separated by a blue line, reference the small slits on Frozone’s goggles, further connecting the design to his signature look.
To make it clear that the sneaker is inspired by Frozone, a “Frozone” tag showcasing a graphic of the superhero using his icy powers is included. Although this concept sneaker is not yet available for purchase, it would be thrilling to see it come to life. So, would you wear a pair of these “Frozone” Air Jordan 1 High sneakers? Stay tuned for more sneaker customs and concepts in the future.
