Teyana Taylor x Air Jordan XX8 SE Camo First Look 2 “Rose In Harlem” Revealed

Since breaking out into the scene via a reality television show on MTV, Teyana Taylor has been a staunch representative of her upbringing in Harlem. Like the many who have emerged from the northern Manhattan neighborhood with no official street boundaries, Teyana’s music, style, and attitude is shaped by the Uptown lifestyle — all evident in her catalog of footwear collaborations that include Reebok, adidas Originals, and now Jordan Brand.

In these photos revealed by @sneakertigger, Entire Basketball Team Gifted with Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1s Air Jordan XX8 SE Camo First Look 2 is clearly inspired by “Rose In Harlem”, the standout single from K.T.S.E., her 2018 album. Despite the release nearly half a decade ago, Taylor has indeed kept that same energy, applying avant-garde details to her design like the thorny red Swoosh on the right shoe and the enlarged logo on the left. “A Rose In Harlem” is printed inside the ankle flaps in an old English-style tracksuit, while the Essential labels feature “TEY” and the aforementioned Swoosh covered in green thorns.

Currently, a release date is not yet known, but stay tuned for further updates as we learn more about Teyana Taylor’s first-ever collaboration with Jordan Brand.
