An unlikely luxury hybrid.
Fashion savant, Jaden Smith recently showed off a custom-made New Balance 1700 x Louis Vuitton Archlight sole hybrid.
A brainchild of San Antonio footwear designer Jake Danklefs, the custom sneaker rocked by Smith features the chunky sole seen on the Louis Vuitton Archlight, merged perfectly the upper of a New Balance 1700 and a toebox reminiscent of the Balenciaga Triple S, creating the ultimate luxury and chunky dad style sneaker.
