Russell Westbrook, Opening Ceremony and Jordan Brand have launched their first collaboration collection at Opening Ceremony stores in New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo and online.
The six-piece collection, which is the first partnership between the three, and the retailer’s first project with an athlete, is comprised of an oversize T-shirt, hoodie and overcoat, track jacket and pants, and a sweatpant trouser, all ranging in price between $125 and $395. The collection will also be available at Nike Lab 21 Mercer and Chicago and the Nike Lab web site on Dec. 5.
“I’ve always loved fashion and the creative process when it comes to designing. When the opportunity came for me and Jordan Brand to collaborate with another brand, Opening Ceremony was a perfect match,” Westbrook said. “I liked the idea of doing something with bold color patterns and adventurous silhouettes and I’m excited to see this collection come to life.”
Westbrook has a number of fashion collaborations under his belt, including a capsule with Acne Studios that launched on Oct. 28. He also operates his own label, Honor the Gift.
