Long before she made history last fall as the first woman to design an Air Jordan sneaker in both men’s and women’s sizing, Los Angeles native Aleali May was trailblazing her prodigious career.
The Filipino and African-American stylist and fashion consultant endured bullying in school as a result Nike Air Max 98 Dames of her mixed race but gained newfound confidence after being voted best-dressed. “I Nike Air Max 1 Womens started wearing boy’s clothes because I didn’t want to show my body. It was so skinny,” she said of how her signature tomboy style came to be.
After she moved to Chicago in 2010 to study at Columbia College, May’s extracurricular activities paved the way for her to enter the fashion game. With a hustler mentality, May nabbed gigs at Louis Vuitton and Virgil Abloh’s boutique,Adidas ZX 750 Dam RSVP Gallery, and even found a mentor in streetwear designer Don C.
After three years in school, “everything that told me to move to Chicago told me you’re done here,” said May, and she returned to California. She’s since added styling credits for Kendrick Lamar and Jaden Smith, among others, and a social media following of over 250,000 fans, to her repertoire.
Working with Nike Adidas Hamburg Dam and other brands has helped her garner an insider’s perspective on the industry. “Everybody’s Nike Air Max 1 Homme Bleu realizing we need you, and you need us.

“Never assume. There were several meetings where I found it amusing that Nike Air Max 95 Femme it was only toward the end that they realized the
decision maker was not who they Nike Roshe Run Femme Rosa were speaking to. It taught me to be more aware of myself so I wouldn’t repeat that same mistake.”
Luxury brands such as Chanel are also drawn to May’s strong sense of style — and she recently attended the fashion house’s cruise show in Paris. “Being in that situation, and one of the few women of color, represented — sometimes it’s a little much for me,” she admitted. “I’m Nike Air Max 97 Dames blessed to be here, but at the same time, it’s a big role, and I want to do this right.”
