Now that the Levi’s x Air Jordan collection has formally launched, some lucky owners of the collaborative kicks are putting their personal touches on the denim-draped design.

With an indigo denim upper practically begging to be distressed, the retro Air Jordan 4 sneakers have been tattered and torn by several social media users including Mike “Upscale Vandal” Carmago and Kith photographer Tyler Mansour.

From sanding and shredding to full-on bleaching and custom patches, the sneakers have been destroyed in the best way possible.

This limited launch released globally at just a handful of doors for a retail price of $225, and it’s currently reselling for an average of around $600.

Malaysia outraged at Meta takedown of media's Facebook posts on PM's Hamas meeting
Malaysia's communications minister expressed outrage at Meta Platforms on Tuesday, demanding it explain why it had taken down Facebook posts by local media covering the prime minister's meeting this week with a Hamas leader. Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim met Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas in Qatar on Monday and later stressed that though he had good relations with the group's political leaders, he had no involvement in its military apparatus. Muslim-majority Malaysia, a vocal supporter of the Palestinian cause, has sent a letter asking Meta to explain the takedown of posts by two media organisations about Anwar's meeting, and closed the Facebook account of a third outlet covering Palestinian issues.
