"If you knew what you had was rare, you would never waste it". This is one of several inspirational messages hidden throughout Los-Angeles-based designer Melody Ehsani's take on the Air Jordan I Mid. Raised in a traditional Persian family, Ehsani manifests her message of female empowerment and self-expression into her vision for the AJI. Making the entire silhouette her own, a decorative gold watch makes for an ideal dubrae, and each quote is hand-lettered.
