Last year, film director Jordan Vogt-Roberts (Kong: Skull Island) showed off some epic Pikachu Air Jordans. Now in 2020, he’s back with a pair of excellent Metal Gear Solid themed ones.
Vogt-Roberts posted the custom AJ1s this week on Twitter to mark the anniversary of Metal Gear Solid’s PlayStation release in North America.
Today is the North American 22nd anniversary of @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN’s PS1 masterpiece METAL GEAR SOLID.
It changed me.
To celebrate, I commissioned artist @bud_sanfilippo (SG Customs) to riff on Yoji Shinkawa’s iconic brush strokes & colors.

Bud Sanfilippo of SGNY did his take on artist Yoji Shinkawa’s brushwork to great effect. The result is subtle, skillful, and very cool. Well done!
Currently, Vogt-Roberts is working on bringing a live-action version of Metal Gear Solid to the big screen. He’s very passionate about the project, and I can’t help but feel MGS is in very good hands.
