Just in case you were starting to question athleisure's fashionable validity after all these years, Anna Wintour has made it clear that the trend is still very much alive with a new collaboration.
The Vogue editor-in-chief and creative director for Conde Nast is teaming up with sneaker and activewear giant Nike to reimagine two pairs of the brand's iconic Air Jordan sneakers. Wintour lent her signature "AWOK" acronym, which she uses to sign off on pages of her legendary magazine and stands for "Anna Wintour OK," to the soles of the new shoes, stamping them with her approval.

The high-tops will be available in red or white leather and will be released on July 21. This collaboration marks the first time the editor has put her name on something besides an "AWOK" sticker last year. Watch Wintour sink shots in her office basketball hoop while sporting a pair of the new sneakers, below.
