On September 13, 2018, Jordan Brand and Paris Saint-Germain announced the first collection Jordan had made with a football club. It covered two special-edition match kits for the Champions League, footwear including the Mercurial Vapor, PhantomVSN, and Air Jordan V, and training and lifestyle apparel. It went on sale on September 14, and PSG first wore the kit on September 18. We made it internally, Nike Brand Design EMEA with Jordan Brand, and Nike Brand Design briefed and creative directed the outside agencies.
Why it looks like this
The Jumpman in the crest. SoccerBible reported that every piece remixes the two logos, placing the Jumpman inside the PSG crest. Michael Jordan described “putting the Jumpman on the chest of Paris Saint-Germain” as a way to unite the two communities.
Black, white, and Infrared. Complex reported that the match kits were black and white with red accents, worn as PSG’s third and fourth kits only in the Champions League, and that the goalkeeper kit came in Infrared, a Jordan Brand heritage color.
