We're used to seeing customizers sole swap between sneakers, but Dee-Nyce of fbcc bay area just took it to another level by creating sneakers out of baseball cleats. He started with a $95 pair Jordan cleats, and ended up with a pair of custom "Royal" IVs. 

Aside from being a great looking sneaker, this is even more interesting because of the dramatic price difference between the cleats and Air Jordan IV retro sneakers. In a previous Instagram post, D-Nyce compares the leather on the Jordan baseball cleats to his re-mastered IVS, making the argument that retro Air Jordan sneakers could sell for way less than they do. Given the classic "Royal" colorway, we could definitely see Jordan Brand actually releasing this colorway in the future, but don't expect the same price tag.
