One of their best moves was to collaborate with Aleali May, the Chicago and Los Angeles based street stylist who has gone from working the retail floor at the most trusted shops, to sitting front row at Paris Fashion Week. Her partnership with Jumpman has sprouted three luxurious Air Jordan models – two on the mainstay Air Jordan 1, and one on the ever-important Air Jordan 6.
