Fans everywhere salute Shane Ward’s dedication to the sneaker classics in his new ‘Air Jordan 1’ cherry blossoms painting.  

What else would a designer do during a global quarantine effort?  The former Adidas sneaker designer turned to canvas for ‘Air Jordan 1‘ tribute painting.  Just one of the ways many creatives are utilizing their time during a pandemic.  Ward is an overall creative starting with his early days as a painter.  To make the most of his time, Ward started painting again.  One of the two said images is the Jordan tribute.  The image of the classic sneaker is made up of the use of organizing cherry blossoms.  Which ultimately makes up the entire silhouette of the sneaker taken by the wind.
