After working in the fashion industry for over a decade, Mimi Plange launched her eponymous label in 2010, presenting pieces informed by both traditional sportswear and the designer’s own Ghanaian roots. And today, just another decade thereafter, she is soon to offer her very own collaboration with the King of the court on this special-edition Mimi Plange x Nike LeBron 18 Low “Higher Learning”
Dubbed “Higher Learning,” the colorway is one part of a larger celebration for the varsity jacket, an American staple currently undergoing a rapid resurgence. What’s more, it speaks to its creator’s own passions for the style, which come through in every facet of the upper’s design. Even in the scheme, the pair visualizes the collegiate spirit, combining shades of yellow and red in likely nod to iconic Ivy League institutions. Elsewhere, both atop the heel and medial, a number of patches take the stage, their tackle twill either simple in bold letters or more aggressive with tiger motifs.
