Public School continues its watershed year with another slam-dunk-from-the-free-throw-line moment. The same week the brand took home the Woolmark Prize, given to a rising—a word that is becoming less befitting of what the very established Public School is by the second—fashion brand, they unleashed a collaboration with Nike’s Jordan Brand shoes.

Public School reworked the iconic Air Jordan 1 with unbelievable results. The shoe has never looked better with a monochromatic black upper made out of premium leather, a speckled grey sole, and a frosty purple outsole. Public School’s trademark minimalism is apparent here, with cool little touches like the embossed Jordan logo on the heel, and the retro “Nike Air” logo fits in nicely.

The streetwear meets menswear brand has surely been influenced in their career by the iconic sneaker, and as Jordans are clawing their way into high fashion circles, it only feels right that Public School would get a shot at remaking the shoe. It becomes a statement about where we are headed, with sneaker brands claiming high-fashion collaborations. Jordan is about to release their upscale Jordan Shine line, and this collaboration with Public School is demonstrative of what we can expect from the shoe brand making a different kind of leap.

With this collaboration, Public School is sticking to the path that made them the respected house they are today. Public School is taking their respected high-fashion house and lending their talents to the streetwear culture of Jordan brand. It won’t hurt that the shoe will only be seen on the fashion elite; there’s only going to be 50 of Public School’s Jordans, given to hand-selected “friends and family.” Chalk it up to just another win for the movement.

Nike’s Fall 2014 women's collection is an epic combination of style and performance wear modeled by Victoria's Secret Angel and top model, Karlie Kloss.

With a passion for fitness that began even before her modeling days, Kloss grew up as a classically trained ballerina–something she continues to implement into her everyday workout regime. “I like to switch it up. I think that’s the best way to really challenge your body and become stronger in every way,” Kloss told Nike.

The collection introduces the Pro Bra Collection, backed in 2 years of research, testing, design and development to provide the fit and support women need throughout any workout. The collection also offers innovative new footwear, Dri-FIT knits and Tech Fleece pieces.
