Jordan Brand's Women-Only Range Is Straight-Up Awesome

The future is female. And in 2018, and Jordan Brand are finally throwing their weight behind that fact. , the world’s biggest sportswear brand revealed their women-focused Unlaced initiative.

So what does Unlaced offer the sneaker world’s too-often-overlooked female enthusiasts? Well, the Swoosh have broken it down into four categories.

• Exclusive services – things like personalised styling, VIP member experiences, delivery perks, specialised packaging etc.
• New voices – welcoming more women to the forefront of sneaker chat, and opening up collaboration opportunities for a greater number of women across diverse fields. For example, project saw the and broken down and built back up in wildly fresh ways by 14 female designers.
• Unisex sizing – WOO HOO! Stupidly long overdue, yes, but we’re relieved and happy to see Nike finally sharing legendary shoes and collaborative collections fairly with female fans.
• Unique retail experiences – as ‘a global and digital retail concept’, Unlaced will offer ‘product curations by influential creatives and stylists’ from major cities including Paris, NYC and Shanghai. We’re not 100 per cent sure what a ‘unique retail experience’ will actually look like, but we’re excited to see it.

To really kick things off, are launching a women’s exclusive collection for summer. A sophisticated palette of blush, pastel green, eggshell and copper steers the ensemble (not a lick of hot pink in sight; it seems someone finally passed on the memo that women aren’t six-year-olds). Suede and leather lend extra polish, resulting in a seriously good looking Air Jordan 1 High Zip, Air Jordan 3, some ultra-refined slides, and host of other impressively tweaked silhouettes.

No firm release dates just yet, but we’ll update you as news comes in.
