Nike Reaches Out To Women With Expanded Sizes On Coveted Kicks

February 28, 2018. 3 Comments

Nike announced plans today for a much more proactive approach to serving its female customers. Laying out a multi-pronged plan, the most exciting effort is the brand’s promise to provide unisex sizing on coveted Jordan, Air Force 1 and Air Max styles as well as collaborative collections like Nike and Virgil Abloh’s “The Ten” capsule, starting in fall 2018.

Nike is also launching a platform called Unlaced, a global and digital concept that will provide unique items and experiences as curated by prominent creatives in cities globally.

According to press, women can anticipate “local Nike Unlaced product curations by influential creatives and stylists from New York, Paris, London, Shanghai and more,” adding “from personalized styling to VIP member experiences, these services offered by Nike Unlaced are designed to increase connectivity and access to sneakers for women. For example, members will have the opportunity to arrange one-on-one appointments with guest stylists and take their prized selections home in specialized packaging.”

Looking at Nike’s custom studio on the first floor of its new SoHo store is likely a good guide for the type of retail experience the brand is looking to create for women. During the first half of February, the floor was themed around Nike’s “1 Reminagined” women’s collection, a set up accompanied by a clothing capsule women can purchase as is or have an on-site tailor customize.

London-based Nigerian fashion designer Mowalola Og London-based Nigerian fashion designer Mowalola Ogunlesi has provided her first official interview since since presenting her spring 2024 Mowalola collection in London in September. In the exchange with @dazed, Ogunlesi revealed the presentation almost didn't happen because of lack of funding, until Ye aka Kanye West stepped in and covered the cost of the show.

The spring 2024 runway stirred controversy because it included a mini skirt adorned with the flag of Saudia Arabia, which features the Shahada, an Islamic oath. Strict observers of the faith descended on the label's social media feeds where they excoriated the designer for printing the the holy oath on clothing, which has been banned by the Saudi Ministry of Commerce for commercial purposes since 2022. Ogunlesi initially brushed off the criticism but then apologized and took down images of the skirt. 

Ogunlesi was also asked to address Ye's more controversial views, which include a whole host of antisemetic and bigoted statements. "You don’t have to agree with everyone but he’s also been, apart from my parents and my sister and my community, the only person who’s supported me in this business," she explained. "He’s helped me see my dreams come true, and I appreciate that. If not for him, I would lowkey be dead in the water."

The Central Saint Martins graduate also spoke on the ongoing challenges of keeping a small label funded along with her wish to work for a larger label. Highlighting a lead creative role at Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Givenchy and Vivienne Westwood as goal worthy, Ogunlesi pointed out that the industry might not be ready to hire a Black woman to lead a major label. "I’ve never seen any Black woman at the head of any house, and I keep seeing all these diagrams of the history of fashion houses and it’s all white people.

"It feels like it’s already decided that it isn’t a space for a Black woman, you know? I feel like they’re only just testing out the Black man now. The Black woman doesn’t even cross their minds," she said.
U.S.-born stylist and editor Gabriella Karefa-John U.S.-born stylist and editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson has announced she has stepped down from her role as Vogue global contributing editor. She made the news official on Business of Fashion‘s podcast where she stated, “The truth of the matter is we grow and sometimes our containers don’t grow with us. And so I am excited to build a new container for all of these ideas and this energy.” 

Karefa-Johnson’s resignation comes in the midst of layoffs at Condé Nast, which recently announced plans to cut about five percent of its workforce, impacting approximately 270 employees.

Rumors she was no longer with the publication began to circulate back in mid-October when she removed the title Vogue editor from her Instagram profile. During the same period, she took to Instagram Stories where she spoke out against the Israel-Hamas War, describing Israel as an “apartheid state,” adding its attacks on Palestine were the equivalent of “genocide.”

When Vogue was asked to provide feedback on her comments, a spokesperson told the NY Post, “Gabriella’s social media posts and opinions are her own and do not represent those of the company.” At the time, a second, unnamed Vogue source noted that Karefa-Johnson was not a full-time employee at the magazine, noting she was not asked by Vogue parent company Condé Nast to remove Vogue editor from her bio.

On the podcast, Karefa-Johnson seemingly pushed back on speculation she was forced out by Vogue for her stance on the Israel-Hamas war, stating, “I loved and learned so much at Vogue magazine. It’s my home. I grew up there, and I can’t wait to take those tools and apply them in ways that are really just true to who I am and serve me and serve people who look like me and people listen and follow me. It’s really about serving that community now.”

While at Vogue, Karefa-Johnson styled a series of high-profile covers including Paloma Elsesser, Kamala Harris, Serena Williams, Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Beiber, among others.
