To celebrate the launch of the first-ever UX 2019 crossover, Lexus partnered with designer John Elliott to create the "Sole of the UX" tire, inspired by his John Elliott x Nike AF1 shoe. The tires reinvent the clbadic silhouette of Elliott's sneakers and are inspired and designed for the city.

Revealed at Elliott's post-evening party at New York Fashion Week, the collaboration includes an all-white UX with custom tire details inspired by Elliott's design, including layers white on white, double-stitched leather and a stepped metal air valve evoking its stacked lace tip. The very first UX was designed for the city and the "modern urban explorer" – those looking for a new, contemporary and dynamic approach to luxury driving.

"The very first Lexus UX was designed and built for the city," said Lisa Materazzo, vice president of marketing for Lexus. "We wanted to take this concept further by creating the ultimate tribute to the urban style: tires inspired by clbadic urban style sneakers."

"We were thrilled to merge the narrative and conceptual elements of our Air Force 1 streetwear with a brand like Lexus. We are grateful that they have allowed us to use this moment to celebrate the arts and bring more energy to our interpretation of a clbadic, "said Elliott. "It's fun to badociate with brands that typically live outside of the fashion world, as this allows us to evolve and continue to push our own boundaries."

When of the event, Elliott presented unique versions of the John Elliott x Nike AF1 by Actual artists. The source, Hbadan Rahim, Matt McCormick and Yung Jake – all pioneers in their respective fields. Using the John Elliott x Nike AF1 as canvas, these unique and unique sneakers were auctioned at the event. All proceeds were donated to Inner-City Arts, a downtown Los Angeles-based organization dedicated to providing arts education access for the underserved youth in Los Angeles.

The Lexus UX was exhibited alongside four interpretations of John Elliott's John Elliott x Nike AF1, a sign of the spirit of collaboration. "Sole of the UX" will make other appearances in the country later this year.
