Jordan shared a promo for the collaboration on Instagram. The ad shows Jordan encountering mysterious people on the streets of Japan before being transported to a sunny forest.

"Introducing #CoachxMBJ my first collection with @Coach inspired by #Naruto," Jordan captioned the post. "Much love to @StuartVevers #CoachNY [film by] @rmorrison."

The unisex line of ready-to-wear clothing, footwear and bags is inspired by Naruto, a Japanese manga and anime series. Jordan said in a press release that he's grateful to Coach creative director Stuart Vevers for helping him design a collection he's "extremely proud of."

"As with all aspects of my work, this collection is about bringing fresh perspectives and unique voices to the forefront," Jordan said. "Expanding into the fashion design space was rewarding beyond my expectations."
