The NBA has an eSports League. Twitch has created legends out of streamers, but what seemingly feels like an organic connection, isn’t. Sneakerheads may play NBA2K, but gamers aren’t naturally aligned with the kick’s community. Nike may have made various sneakers featuring PlayStation logos and there have been XBox sneaker designs but most of the people gaming aren’t as interesting in sneaker culture. That community is more likely to spend thousands on a new computer build or monitor than the latest hyped sneaker. The lines continue to be blurred in regard to communities and crossovers.

And it’s expected for him to recraft Jordans and Nike sneakers, but this opportunity is a bit different, and it highlights the expansion of The Shoe Surgeon’s universe and his original design capabilities. Dominic Ciambrone has been featured in shows from Netflix to Complex. He is expanding his educational program to teach those who are interested in creating custom sneakers.

Today his multiverse collides into the gamer realm. Call of Duty will be giving away six pairs of original, limited-edition Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 shoes, made to order by The Shoe Surgeon. The Shoe Surgeon has collaborated with Call of Duty to create a rare set of original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 sneakers. The original shoes are inspired by the environments and various materials featured within the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. Bringing out the duality of contrasting forces in the light vs in the dark, The Shoe Surgeon sourced textures and materials found in modern military equipment that are not only functional, but tactical.
