Just 10 pairs of some custom Air Jordan IV shoes have been released, inspired by the SNES console and the legendary game NBA Jam.

For the measly price of $1250, the equivalent to almost three pairs of Lonzo Ball’s Z02 shoes from his Big Baller Brand, you could be the proud owner of some custom Air Jordan IV shoes inspired by the fan-favorite game NBA Jam.

The shoes, entitled the Jordan IV “SNES US” NBA Jam Edition, feature some sweet touches to showcase the old school basketball game with some nice colors to go along with it. The company that made the shoe, Freakersneaks, released shoes a while back inspired by the Nintendo 64, and followed a similar format for the SNES edition of the Jordans.

The tongue of the shoe features screenshots from the old-school arcade game, with one side of the shoe having a game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors (sound familiar), and a congratulations screen on the other with a trophy. The shoes must not be completely up to date, as it has the Cavaliers coming out on top in the end, which may not be a great selling point for those looking to buy the shoes in Oakland.

The shoe also caters to those just looking to celebrate the classic console without having to worry about the sports element, as the heels celebrate some key elements of the system. One side has a D-pad, while the other features the four buttons from the other side of the console’s controller.

These are surely some sweet collectibles for any gamer or gaming sports fan out there willing to drop a pretty penny on some footwear. However, you must be a really Big Baller if you have the dough to pony up on these custom shoes.
