Okay, folks, let’s dive into my little experiment with “blue, black, and purple Jordans.”
My Quest for the Perfect Color Combo
So, I’ve always been a bit of a sneakerhead, and Jordans are my weakness. I had this idea stuck in my head: I wanted a pair of Jordans that mixed blue, black, and purple. I started with searching. I was just throwing keywords into Google, image searching mostly.
The Hunt Begins
I started by looking at existing models. You know, checking out what’s already out there. The usual suspects popped up:
- Air Jordan 1s: Lots of colorways, but finding the exact combo I wanted was tough.
- Other Jordan models: I looked at 3s, 4s, 5s, you name it. Some had two of the colors, but rarely all three in a way I liked.
Honestly, I wasn’t finding exactly what I wanted. There are some “grape” colorways, and some blue and black ones, but nothing that really clicked. I spent hours, I’m not even kidding, just scrolling through pictures and online stores.
The Customization Option
Then it hit me: why not just make my own? I’d heard of people customizing sneakers, so I figured I’d give it a shot. I found some websites that seemed geared for this option. I started playing around with different base models. I’d pick a mostly white shoe, then start virtually “painting” the different panels.
I found it pretty fun with tools that let you customize shoes online. It was like a digital coloring book, but way cooler. I probably spent a good two hours just messing with different shades of blue and purple, trying to get the balance right. I did not want it to be too dark or too bright.
The Final Design
After all that, I finally landed on a design I liked. It was an Air Jordan 1 Mid, mostly black, with royal blue accents on the toe box and around the ankle, and then some deep purple on the Swoosh and the heel. It looked pretty slick, at least on the computer screen.
Bringing it to Reality (or Not)
Here is the thing I didn’t actually order the customized shoes. I was just playing around and exploring. I might do it someday. I just wanted to see if I could create the color combination I had in my head. And you know what? I did it!
This whole thing was more about the process of searching, discovering, and then trying to create something myself. It was a fun little journey, even if I didn’t end up with a new pair of shoes (yet!).
