Aside from being a pivotal athlete on the hardwood, Lebron James has also kept that same energy in the community. He has consistently used his voice to build community in his hometown, throughout digital highways, and in celebration of other individuals making a difference in their respective lane. Where the intersection of sports and fashion meet, we are brought to the second female design collaboration powered by Lebron and the Swoosh. This collection doesn’t just hold the cool factor, but weaves in the fundamental elements of storytelling as a way for us to connect.
We can’t help but salute the Lebron 18 x Mimi Plange Collection. Mimi’s personal brand pays homage to African art and culture and she will be infusing her design ethos into her four-part colorway series that will reimagine the Lebron 18 Low silhouette. The first shoe nicknamed “Higher Learning” is a symbol of how many of us found meaning through style and sport combined. The Letterman jacket has been a symbol of creative expression throughout high school experiences, and honestly, a timeless staple piece. Moving from Africa to the US, Mimi saw firsthand how diversity is a beautiful way of bringing culture together. Through common threads, it made sense to design this collection around experiences that we can all resonate with.
“It’s amazing to shine a light where there hasn’t been enough light: bringing more voices into design. Having the space to speak a sense of self through design carries a lot of power.”
The Lebron 18 Low collaboration will feature a blend of colorways that are synonymous with the varsity jacket offering. Accents of mustard, burgundy, crimson, and pink sit against Letterman-inspired detailing. Alongside a lion mascot, lettering ties into the vibe of Lebron’s ‘Just a Kid From Akron’.
