When I first caught glimpses of the 10 silhouettes in the "Reimagined" pack, I didn't know what to think. With many opinions swirling around the e-streets about this release, I wanted to take some time to form my own opinion without outside influence.
When it came down to it, I was intrigued that Nike would appoint a team of 14 ALL female specialists within the brands design group to 'reimagine' a couple of sneakers. Not any sneakers though, these are the two most beloved staple kicks born out the 80s. The Nike Air Force 1 and the Air Jordan 1. Although these pairs started out as court shoes, they have transcended a culture weaving in and out of sports, music, and streetwear. We can't deny they are timeless.

So how did these ladies within Nike rebrand these sneakers to make a statements given the current styles and trends? For one, these 10 sneakers in the collection (5 Jordan/5 AF1) are meant to be bold. Georgina James led the charge to determine how each version would define a women's dimensions and needs.
“From a design point of view, each of the designers has a very unique background and personality. Our theory is that when you mix diverse creative talents you realize some magic.”
- Andy Caine, Footwear Director
With a tight timeframe of two weeks, the design experts worked diligently bringing diverse personalities to the table. The collaboration created the "Reimagined" Collection. From first glance, we get a futuristic, minimalist vibe with interesting details. Check out all the kicks below!

Do any of these stand out as a favorite that you would want to grab? While I may pass on these, I can't help but smile at the fact that a group of women were chosen to sit down together and create a new idea for a women's collection. For us by us. This is exactly what we need more of.
