THE FEEL FREE ARTZ GROUP
Holiday season is upon us and for the sex-positive femmes in the chat, it might feel impossible to find the perfect gift — considering we’re always underrepresented. We don’t follow the trends, we are the trend. So here are 20 items that will do you and every kinky gal justice this year.
The Jordan Brand legacy wouldn’t be what it is today without a loyal community of fans who have championed the brand and MJ since day one — the OG’s who’ve helped shape the brand’s impact through the years. Since the release of the first-ever Air Jordan shoe, the Jordan Brand has continued to influence the worlds of footwear, basketball and popular culture. As a “thank you” for decades of support, the heritage sneaker brand unveils the AJ XI Retro “Gratitude,” a timeless silhouette elevated by icy accents.
The upgraded silhouette takes a page out of the original DMP colorway’s book, sporting welded gold Jumpman emblems on the heel. Elevating the original design, the shoe also features satin lining on the collar and high-cut patent leather on the mudguard, for a polished, high-quality feel. Spreading this message of gratitude within the local community, LA Bike Life Crew and dirt bike prodigy and crew member EJ took to the streets to show their love for the faces and places that influenced and transformed them.
Selected by Jordan Brand partner Union Los Angeles, the recipients of the AJ XI Gratitude have each left a positive mark on their neighborhoods and far beyond through their creative and generous visions. One recipient in particular, Aleali May, was like a mentor to EJ who inspired him to get his first job and reach for his goals, “You were the first person to inspire me to really go far,” EJ shared with May.
EJ and crew brought joy to Circulate founder Corey Populus, Jalxndra founder Jasmin Alexandria, executive chef and restaurateur Alisa Reynolds, and stylist and designer May by gifting them with the new sneaker, embodying Jordan Brand’s and MJ’s attitudes of paying it forward.
The Air Jordan XI Retro Gratitude will drop on the SNKRS app on December 9th, and users will be notified of the drop. Take a closer look at the AJ XI Gratitude on nike.com.
Latto is one of the hottest names in rap — and for good reason.
The 24-year-old, who started rapping at the tender age of ten, has quickly risen to the top of the charts with her unbothered confidence and impeccable style. There are very few in her industry whose quick-witted lyricism matches their bravado, so it should come as no surprise that the Atlanta-raised artist has been a regular front row fixture for fashion week. For Blumarine‘s Spring/Summer 2024, Latto gave us a peek into her life, sharing her style inspirations and how she maintains her signature sense of “Big Latto” confidence.

I’m not a morning person. so I like to sleep in if possible and take my time getting ready. Hitting the gym is a must and I’ll cook myself breakfast at some point if I have the time. I’m also very adamant about my morning skincare routine.
My sister, she is my rock.
I definitely have natural confidence, which is super important on stage. I pray before every performance. I listen to music that gives me good vibes and wear a look that makes me feel confident. When I look good, I feel good. Oh and take a shot or two of Tito’s.
Step away from my phone and do things for me. I love to cook, get massages and spend time with my family and friends.
Lemon herb remix from Wingstop hands down and the Latto meal, of course.
I love this pink drink product by Sunday Riley, I use it as a toner. I also love to apply a good hyaluronic acid after.
Honestly every show I’ve been to. there’s been a bunch of different things I’ve wanted to add to cart, it’s a problem. I’m always tapping my stylist on the shoulder during the shows like, “Aye make sure I get my hands on that piece first.”
I love all things vintage, so I’m pairing my own style with a blast from the past oftentimes. I get dressed based off my mood or vibe for the day.
