Mansory designs luxury carbon fiber riding lawnmower
Developed with partner BSTN Premium Sportswear, the carbon fiber-intensive lawnmower was designed to complement the 25th anniversary of Air Jordans.
According to luxury car customization company Mansory (Brand, Germany), the first Air Jordan XI sneaker was inspired by the design of a ride-on lawnmower. In honor of this connection, for Air Jordan's 25th anniversary this year, Mansory teamed up with Air Jordan’s BSTN Premium Sportswear to develop a one-off ride-on lawnmower designed to complement BSTN’s new Air Jordan XI Jubilee Sneakers.
The resultant BSTN GT XI lawnmower features custom-made carbon fiber body parts and a leather-carbon seat and steering wheel. Its coloring and logos match the anniversary edition of the sneakers.
