Aleali May is back with another collaboration, and once again, I’m completely obsessed. Following her Air Jordan 1 High Zoom “Califia” collaboration (inspired by her childhood drill team) earlier this year, Aleali May is again partnering with the Chicago-based brand on a new and equally personal collab launching August 19.<\/p>\n

The 29-year old designed the collection entitled “Fortune” as a love letter to her family’s Filipina and black heritage. The standout of the collab is a rendition of the iconic Air Jordan 14 Low sneakers. May reimagines the sneakers<\/a> with lavish gold and green-blue jade elements, a node to a bracelet given to her by her grandmother. May’s Jordan 14’s are complete with marbled green midsole molds, which if it weren’t for the press release, I would guess was actual jade\u2014yeah, it’s that good.<\/p>\n

“Throughout my collaborations, I always try to go back and say thank you to whoever was supporting me at the time,” May says in a statement shared with GRAZIA<\/em>. “My grandmother on my dad’s side gifted me gold and jade bangles that she’d had for 20 years before that. As a young girl, my grandmother on my mom’s side also gifted me her jade bangles. Those were my first pieces of jewelry.”<\/p>\n

Of course, we can’t forget about the apparel. The collection includes a short-sleeved t-shirt, cropped tank top<\/a>, biker shorts, and a crew shirt and shorts, all seamlessly matching lavish May’s Jordan 14’s. “My dad used to pick me up from school on his bike,” says May in a video interview. Her love for biker culture<\/a> witnessed growing up in central Los Angeles is translated into each piece.<\/p>\n

May’s Jordan 14’s will be dropping on August 19 nationwide. Hope you\u2019re fortunate<\/em> enough to land a pair, May’s collaborations with the sportswear brand are known to sell out pretty fast. Ahead, check out May and her adorable fam in the collaboration campaign video.<\/p>\n
