Isamaya Ffrench x Nike Women's Air Max DN
The influential make-up artist, Isamaya Ffrench, has collaborated with Nike on two bold colourways for the Air Max Dn that reflect her style and beauty aesthetic, blurring the lines between sport and cosmetics.
The new Air Max Dn attracts style enthusiasts who love to wear sneakers as much as stilettos, pushing the brand's latest Air Max design innovation to the max.
Isamaya—a leading authority on colour and texture—creates products that appeal directly to fearless trendsetting women. Her cosmetics and creative design are known for advancing attitudes regarding beauty and power, and how the two converge.
"It's been inspiring working with athletes throughout this journey with Nike—and humbling to feel that the things I'm creating help these women feel good, and give them confidence to perform at their peak and define their own authentic creativity in expression", Ffrench says.
Ffrench's unique expression of beauty and style is the perfect match for the Air Max Dn, a shoe with an incomparable look and feel that reflects Nike's commitment to innovation in performance and design. Her exclusive reimagining of the Nike Air Max Dn silhouette—consisting of a dual-chamber, four-tubed Nike Air unit that delivers superior comfort along with a smooth stride and plenty of bounce—is inspired by the bold colour palettes and textures of her beauty products.
"For me, the most inspiring thing about the Dn silhouette is how much opportunity it presents to play with texture, colour and materials", Ffrench says.
Ffrench's exclusive Air Max Dn colourways include a warm, bold Chocolate Brown and a fresh, neutral beige. Each features metallic details and contrasting textures. In creating these new colourways, Ffrench drew inspiration from women athletes who are just as influential in the world of fashion as they are on the field.
"Female athletes show that you can have it all", Ffrench says. "You can have prowess in sport. You can be at the top of your game. You can take an interest in your appearance. You can express yourself in as many ways as you want and still be a top athlete. Beauty doesn't undermine any of that. Beauty actually enhances it".
