“I don’t like to follow rules,” expressed Abney in a statement, according to Complex. “That’s where I say that my work is undefinable in the sense where anything could be for anyone. It’s not necessarily gendered or for a certain age; you just put your own spin on it. I say I’m undefinable because I do what I want.”

Jordan Brand Women’s GM Andrea Perez added “No one understands the power, relevance, and reach of basketball culture more than Nina Chanel Abney, as she is a living embodiment of its legacy. This collaboration is as much about the design of an idea as it is about the product.”

The collaboration includes hoodies, tops, pants, t-shirts, and a special Air Jordan 2 in both high and low silhouettes. Hypebeast reported the merchandise features designs in black, red, green, and gray, with graphic illustrations of Michael Jordan.
