Beth Bephie Gibbs, wife of Union LA founder Chris Gibbs, founded the BBS label in 2020. The label creates streetwear for women with the goal of building and empowering women who identify as LGBTQIA+ or POC.
In an official statement, Beth Bephie Gibbs discusses the collaborative collection as:
"Color is everything to me. so when designing this collection I wanted to tap into my favorite colors and also my Caribbean roots. The mesh is a theme through. From the back of the jacket to side panels of the pants and dress. I also incorporate it into the shoes."
To commemorate the Air Jordan 7 silhouette's 30th anniversary, Beth Bephie Gibbs dressed it in two distinct colours. Tinker Hatfield's original Huarache design has been thoughtfully evolved into these upcoming AJ7 makeovers.
The interior neoprene bootie is made of mesh shroud, which extends up to the ankles and consists of a cuff closed by elastic cord at the end, which is inspired by the original Huarache.
The two sneakers are available in family sizes in sanddrift and teal colorways. The collection's highlight is the Sandrift colorway, which features Turf Orange accents, while the Teal colorways feature Blue and Green accents. The SP court models in the collection feature interior mesh booties that work in tandem with the traditional lacing system to provide a more secure fit.
The shoes also have a protective layer on the outsides that acts as a hiking shell. A Jumpman logo appears on the inner mesh. The Swoosh logo appears on the forefoot. The heels have a Bephie's shop stamp on them, and the Air Huarache TPU heel tabs have "Air Jordan" lettering on them.
The collection includes assorted apparel offerings, such as tracksuits, tees, dresses, shirts, and more, in orange, teal and peach accents.The entire collection includes:
- Slip Dress, which can be availed at a retail price of $140.
