L.A. may be teeming with stylists, models and influencers, but not all of them can boast being the first woman to design a unisex pair of air Jordans like aleali May can. Her killer style effortlessly mixes pieces from her favourite sportswear and luxury brands, long before it was the order of the day. Having applied her styling know-how on the likes of 21 Savage, Jaden Smith and Wiz Khalifa, May is leaving her mark in today’s fashion scene
I just wanted to give praise to the city that raised me, Los Angeles, while fusing street wear and sportswear in a basketball shoe. With it being unisex, I wanted to have it available for men and women because I wear both’s clothing. It also creates room for anyone to rock them with their personal style or if they’re a fan of the LA Kings or Raiders.
What did that feel like, having grown up in those sneakers?
Honestly, it’s still unreal. I hang out with family a lot and seeing my uncle, the guy who would buy me Jordan’s growing up, still talk about it so much just makes me feel so happy. Family is important to me and it’s definitely a dream to design the sneakers.
