Social justice, activism, and protests have been focal points through sports, pop culture, and public discourse for decades.

Sneaker brands, athletes, boutiques, and many other entities within the industry are making statements and lending a hand to do their part.
Custom sneakers are using their platforms and art to bring more light to the issue.

From MLK to Colin Kaepernick to Ahmaud Arbery, this AJ1 is meant to be provocative above everything else.
Take a detailed look at the pair below, and be sure to follow The Sneaker Journalists on Instagram.
