Let's check out her two-year process of creating these unique and stylish shoes.

However, a character change in 2019 meant a full Liv makeover, which included ditching Jordans for boots.

She wanted to combine the aesthetics of a Jordan with the comfort and support of a boot.

He had created the "Air Morgans," knee-high sneakers with the lightweight comfort of the Jordan 1.
