Jordan Brand is tapping Maison Château Rouge for a ‘Maison Château Rouge x Jordan Series Mid.’ The new colorway references Maison Chateau Rouge’s African roots and Parisian founding. Consumers can shop the new colorways in ‘Sail’ and ‘Brown Basalt.’ The ‘Sail’ colorway has an off-white upper, accentuating the orange and brown tones found in patterning and the sole. Light red stitching decorates the white laces, while a basketball patch decorates the ankle area.
The ‘Brown Basalt’ colorway is similar, using a deep brown tone that is contrasted by the red stitching throughout the shoe and white laces. The midsole is crafted using the same tones as the ‘Sail’ option. The ‘Maison Château Rouge x Jordan Series Mid’ releases June 24 at Nike and select retailers.
