Images: Aleali May Twitter
Right after the drop of Aleali May's Air Jordan 1 'Califia' a few images leaked online about an upcoming Air Jordan 14 relese. Most of us were a little confused since the AJ1 hadn't been out for a month before the news of a new sneake. However, those images spread like wildfire with several online publications picking up the images and fueling the store about an AJ 14 coming from the sneaker queen herself. Now, we have the real confirmation that the Aleali May AJ 14 'Fortune' is coming in September.
Continuing to draw inspiration from her heritage, Aleali May featured both her grandmother and auntie for the official announcement. Posting on Instagram, May mentioned how women have to play multiple roles in society.
“My drive is a product of the many pieces of my identity. It’s like basketball or any other sport—in order to win, you have to play multiple roles, often having to shift between those roles at a moment’s notice. Women have to do that every day. We’re mothers, sisters, daughters, and friends. We’re bosses and teachers and designers and athletes and scientists and group chat comedians. Our identity isn’t just formed by what we wear, but by the actions we take. It’s based on how we live, and the environments we create.
Mimi (Tita Sue) and Granny showed me essential pieces of my identity.
Stay down.. never forgetting where you came from.
Stay consistent.. charging forwards, no matter what the roadblocks.
Stay loyal..being true to who you are; becoming the person your younger self dreamed of✨”
We can be on the lookout for Aleali's AJ 14 coming very very soon. Is this the start of more AJ 14's for her? We shall see.
