The story behind the shoe
How a Wynwood bar started pouring drinks into Jordans.
In October 2019, Grails Miami opened on the corner of 28th Street and North Miami Avenue with one idea nobody else in Miami was doing: serve a real cocktail in a hand-painted ceramic Jordan 3. The first one, the Grails 3 True Blue, was made in a small batch, individually numbered, and meant to be taken home. It worked. Lines wrapped around the building. Reviewers wrote about “the bar where you drink from a shoe.” The internet did the rest.
Seven years later the line-up is bigger. The Holy Grail 1 (Chicago) joined the lineup in February 2022, the Grails 3 Orange in April. Then came Air Grails 1 colourways in Yellow, Bred and Sky, a Grails 3 Pine and a one-of-one J Balvin custom. Some retire when they sell out. Some come back as limited drops for sports tentpoles, like the 2026 World Cup Grails Cleats, ceramic soccer boots branded with national-team flags.
Every ceramic cup is a small-batch piece. Every Sneaker Cup and Sneaker Shot is yours to keep. The only vessel that stays at the bar is the 20 oz Holy Grail 1 Shareable, the king-of-all-sneakers, built for tables of up to twelve.
Grails is a sports bar first. The sneaker cocktail is the souvenir; the night is the room. 75+ TVs overhead. Sound on for every major game. Hookah on the covered Miami Vice Patio and in The Yard tent. Hand-crafted cocktails by world-class mixologists, hyper-local beer, shareable plates, and a kitchen open until close. Families are welcome at any hour, Grails is fully family friendly. Reservations are recommended on weekends and during World Cup matches.
You can drink a sneaker cocktail in Wynwood, Miami at exactly one address: 2800 N Miami Ave. Two blocks from Wynwood Walls. Open Monday through Thursday at 3 PM, Friday at noon, and Saturday and Sunday at 11 AM.
