Step inside District 23. No really, step inside. We’re giving you a fly-through look at Jordan Brand’s Parisian hub, located in the city’s brilliant 18th arrondissement. D23 is Jordan’s love letter to the diasporic cultures and international youth who inform basketball and all its dimensions — a living, breathing example of how to use sport’s greatest stage as an accelerator for lasting impact that serves the entire community, particularly the next generation. Leading the way as creative director is Youssouf Fofana, founder of the fashion label Maison Château Rouge. His vision takes form in an unforgettable six-week stretch of programming that Fofana has cultivated inside and around the historic former Tati Barbès department store, which has been renovated to offer a space for creativity and community. On the product front, one of his most memorable collaborations was a special Air Jordan I Mid, which took rich design cues from the contemporary African diaspora in Paris. So, how did his creative mindset change from designing a shoe to designing an entire building? Turns out, not much. “The two processes were very similar,” says Youssouf. “When you talk about that AJ I Mid, it was inspired by the neighborhood, by the diversity of its community. When I designed this space for District 23, I was also inspired by the community. The response from the people here has been so positive. When they see a collaboration between Jordan Brand and a local artist, and they go big, it inspires everybody.” Learn more about District 23 at https://lnkd.in/gZQ5WZn6 #JordanBrand #District23
