The new John Elliot Pre Spring/Summer 2019 collection is comprised of a range of collaborative work -- this includes projects with Nike, M.A.R.S., Blackmeans and Suicoke. The new seasonal pieces are made with seasonal transitions in mind and include fabric materials that have been custom-made, as well as reworked textiles. The collection boasts a color palette of olive green, brown, dune and taupe, all tapping into earthy elements.
The fashion label's main French Terry program also received a new update -- one that draws inspiration from television screen static. This update is infused using a traditional dyeing method from Japan that includes gradient patterning.
Notably, the new seasonal selection is comprised of an upcoming 'Triple Black' iteration of the signature LeBron Icon sneakers and new tonal options of Nike's M2K Tekno sneakers.
