Melody Ehsani’s Air Jordan Womens Collaboration Releases March 19th

Jordan Brand has made it a priority to focus on women’s-exclusive releases in the past 18 months, and we’re all for it. Inclusivity in the sneaker game has always been lacking on both sides of the business, but as we progress in years, we progress in our ways. The female contribution to the Brand has thus far been but a drop in the ocean, with collaborations from Aleali May making up the bulk, but new entrants Olivia Kim, Sheila Rashid, and Melody Ehsani are further changing the narrative. Now, after a standout debut in the male-dominated FEARLESS ONES collection, Ehsani returns to the Jumpman Brand with yet another collaborative piece. Now, after a teaser look last week, Melody has now unveiled the effort, which is fittingly focused on the recently-reinstated Air Jordan Womens.

The shoe features a classic Jordan Brand palate of black and red, paired with reflective piping on the silhouette’s aggressive overlays. Oversized cherry dubraes sit at the base of the laces — and also adorn her insanely-cool sweats, of which we’re expecting to release alongside the pair as part of an apparel capsule. Ehsani also outlines a short yet poignant timeline of women in basketball, noting the original ads of the Air Jordan Womens, as well as Sanaa Lathan’s portrayal of Monica in 2000’s Love and Basketball.

A release date for the Melody Ehsani x Jordan Womens was not revealed, but the first teaser did confirm that the drop would occur this month. Take a peep at Melody’s unveiling and teaser below, and be sure to keep your eyes glued to our official Twitter account for updates surrounding its release.
