story

"My name is Youssouf Fofana, I am the co-founder of Maison Château Rouge. We are proud of the collection. We think it's a good bridge between Paris and our African cultures."

"This is about motifs. On the collection we made for Jordan, we have these prints that are made as commemorative cloths."

"This pair has been designed for Michael Jordan, that can be worn with a suit. The pair is entirely made of leather. We wanted to stay on something crafted. The print is carved into the leather, and this is something that was linked to my culture, which is scarification."

"My favorite part of the shoe is the back. I think there's something quite interesting, especially with the orange and these effects..."

"...It reminds me of a basketball. The idea of making a collection that makes sense with Paris, we thought it would be interesting to start from this shot of Michael Jordan..."

"...in Paris near the Eiffel tower and remake it as a drawing in the commemorative cloth. I think that in our generation,we are bound to innovate all the time because what we are living and doing is something new."
