In case you weren't aware, today is Air Max Day. In celebration of the occasion, The Shoe Surgeon has come together with artist Josh Vides for a special release.

Here, we find the Nike Air Max 1 redone with white python across the upper. From there, Vides has implemented his hand-painted technique to the luxe iteration, which also welcomes a black Japanese plunge leather liner.

The Shoe Surgeon is set to release the sneaker in limited numbers beginning today at 6 p.m. PST online. In addition to the "Idea to Reality" Air Max 1, a collaborative T-shirt is launching here from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.

In other news, these Air Max Day hybrid mockups are next level.
