The latest fruit of Paris Saint-Germain's long collaboration with Michael Jordan's fashion brand has been revealed with the presentation of the French club's new fourth kit for the 2023-24 season.
The shiny gold strip serves as a slightly belated celebration of the fifth anniversary of the relationship between PSG and Jordan Brand, which began in 2018 and has produced several alternative kits and clothing collections.

In addition to the burnished hue, the jersey also features an elephant skin-inspired graphic print that has been emblematic of Jordan's design language since its first appearance in 1988 on the Air Jordan III sneakers.
Star forward Kylian Mbappé was hired to wear the new kit.
The famous pattern has also been adopted by the Parisians this season, first seen on the dark gray third kit.
The 2023-24 fourth kit also features a simple round style collar and cuffs in black and navy along with a black stripe running from the armpit to the bottom hem and monotone crests and badges to simplify the palette.
Several prominent members of the Paris Saint-Germain women's team, including Korbin Albert, Élisa De Almeida, Grace Geyoro, Jackie Groenen and Sakina Karchaoui, traveled to the National Museum of Qatar in Doha for the launch, and the gold jersey matched well with the gritty, abstract architecture of the building.
The fourth kit will be worn by both the men's and women's teams, with the latter being the first to wear it when they return to Champions League action against Ajax Amsterdam this week.
