“I’ve always loved the energy and creativity that Paris brings to global culture, and I’m honored to help welcome Paris into the Jordan Wings Family,” says Carmelo Anthony, 10-time NBA All-Star and Jordan Brand Wings Global Ambassador. “In 2020, it’s more important than ever that we all do everything we can to inspire and empower our youth, because they are the future.”
Like many of the world’s most influential cities, the diversity of Paris strengthens its cultural influence. But social and educational barriers continue to prevent young people from being successful — especially in its most diverse communities. The Wings’ partners in Paris will help a diverse group of young people gain the confidence to achieve their dreams, find their voice and overcome the obstacles they have faced.
