The challenge.
Design and paint Jordan Air 1’s for the 2023 CDL Champs.

TRUST THE PROCESS.
TRUST THE PROCESS.
Research.
We looked at several different colors and pattern combinations to best represent the Call of Duty brand. Black and Gold became the colors of choice.
Design.
We masked colors and patterns on different panels of the shoes in digital mock-ups for our reviews to narrow down each detail of the shoe.
Execute.
Everything with color would be hand-painted. Anything that wasn’t painted and left white would complement the rest of the design.
