TLDR: Opium Paris is collaborating with Jordan Brand to release the Jordan Air Ship "Charlotte Hornets" in women's sizes for €150 on 1 June 2024. The design honours Michael Jordan's legacy with the Hornets and combines Parisian style with basketball history.

Following successful collaborations with Awake NY and A Ma Maniére, Opium Paris has unveiled their unique take on the Jordan Air Ship. This edition celebrates Michael Jordan's legacy with the Charlotte Hornets through a distinctive colourway of Sail, Blue Chill, Black and Court Purple. These colours honour Jordan's time with the Hornets and add a nostalgic touch to the design.

The sneaker features a Sail leather upper with perforations in the toe area for breathability. Black details on the Swoosh logos, eyelets and toe overlays provide a striking contrast, while purple accents on the collars and tongue labels add a vibrant touch. The text "Designed in Charlotte" on the tongue and a retro 90s pattern on the heel further emphasise the homage to the Hornets. Embossed graffiti-style "Paris" text on the side ankle completes the unique look.

The Opium Paris x Jordan Air Ship "Charlotte Hornets" will release on 1 June 2024. This special sneaker will be available in women's sizes and will cost €150.

You can purchase the Opium Paris x Jordan Air Ship "Charlotte Hornets" at select Jordan Brand retailers, both in-store and online, including Nike.com. For the latest store listings and updates, keep an eye on Grailify.
