Maison Château Rouge x Jordan Collection Release Date

Original Story (06/17/22): Maison Château Rouge has officially announced it latest collaboration with the Jumpman, and there’s more to the collection than just the Air Jordan 2.

Youssouf Fofana, co-founder of the Parisian fashion brand, explains that the Jordan collaboration is a bridge between Parisian and African culture. Prints used on the Air Jordan 2, the two colorways of the MCR x Jordan Series Mid, and the apparel are inspired by traditional African commemorative loincloths. The debossed print that is dug into the leather on the footwear nods to the traditional practice of scarification.

The theme of the collection is “United Youth International,” a celebration of the history of youth around the world. According to the brand, the international youth is “condemned to modernity, never stops reinventing itself, resisting and innovating.”

The hits of orange on the Air Jordan 2 are inspired by the “Shattered Backboard” color scheme, nodding to how Michael Jordan, as a 22-year-old youth, shattered a backboard during an exhibition game in Italy. Brogue detailing adds sophistication to each of the footwear styles, designed so that Michael Jordan could pair them with a suit if he chose to do so. Each pair also features graphic insoles of Michael Jordan as another nod to the GOAT.

The designs of the MCR x Jordan apparel collection continue to pay homage to this partnership’s Parisian and Senegalese roots. “Chicago to Paris to Dakar” motifs are a celebration of various cultures coming together, while graphics are rooted in iconic Jordan hoops heritage. Apparel styles include jackets, hoodies, tees, and pants.
