Designer Sam van IJzendoorn has created a custom Air Max 1 inspired by McDonald’s European color palette. Featuring dark green suede, white leather, and vibrant yellow accents, these sneakers add a sophisticated twist to fast-food-inspired fashion. The unique design includes iconic McDonald’s branding and is a standout in the custom sneaker world.
Sam van IJzendoorn's Custom Air Max 1 Sneakers Draw Inspiration from European McDonald’s Aesthetics
Great ideas often find their roots in good food, and a custom Air Max 1 inspired by McDonald’s aesthetics is a perfect example. This unique creation is the work of talented designer Sam van IJzendoorn, known for his exceptional custom sneaker designs through @vijzbespokes.
While sneakers inspired by fast food might seem unusual, these McDonald's s-themed Air Max 1s could change your mind. Typically associated with the brand's iconic red and yellow colors, these custom kicks take their inspiration from European McDonald’s locations, which feature a palette of green, white, yellow, and red—reflecting the brand’s environmental initiatives.
The sneakers showcase this distinctive color scheme: dark green suede on the toe box, mudguard, and heel counter, complemented by white leather on the quarter panels. A vibrant yellow suede section beneath the white leather panel adds to the unique palette and a fry box-inspired design on the tongue.
The McDonald’s Golden Arches Add a Unique Flair to These One-of-a-Kind Custom Sneakers
To complete the theme, the iconic McDonald’s golden arch logo is prominently displayed on the forefoot, paired with a red lace dubrae featuring the McDonald’s logo. This change in palette adds a sophisticated touch to these McDonald's' sneakers, making them stand out in the world of custom designs.
Although this particular pair was a one-of-a-kind creation for @mcdonaldsnl in 2019, there’s no need to worry if you’re inspired to have a custom pair of your own. Vijz Bespokes can collaborate with you to design something uniquely yours. Head to their website’s made-to-order section to start your custom design journey.
However, they can only accommodate ten custom orders monthly, soience may be required.
