On Michael Jackson’s birthday, Actively Black has officially released Drop 3 of its Michael Jackson collection.
The latest officially licensed collection brings a more stylish and fashion-focused approach, moving beyond the usual fan T-shirts and featuring everything from elegant everyday pieces to sparkling outfits that would not look out of place on a dance floor.
And this drop has an even more meaningful purpose. As previously announced, the proceeds from the collection will go towards relief efforts in Gary, Indiana, Michael Jackson’s hometown, following the recent crisis that left many residents without power for an extended period.
Here is a look at the new collection and our thoughts on each piece.
Michael Jackson x Actively Black Luxe Pants
Price: £82.62
These are really nice black pants, offering something a little more subtle for fans who want to represent Michael Jackson without wearing a traditional T-shirt or a large image of him.
The Michael Jackson signature and silhouette of his famous toe stand running down the side of each leg add an elegant MJ touch. It is a stylish detail that works particularly well for those looking for something a little different.
Michael Jackson x Actively Black Varsity Jacket
Price: £187.76
This is probably one of our favourite pieces from the drop!
It is completely black, which makes a refreshing change from the usual red and black “Thriller-style” varsity jackets that we have seen so many times before. This one definitely feels like an upgrade.
Featuring the MJ logo and Michael’s signature, the jacket also includes different silhouettes of Michael’s famous poses along the sleeves. It is unmistakably Michael Jackson without relying on the usual designs—and that is what makes it stand out.
Michael Jackson x Actively Black Moonwalker Bedazzled Pants
Price: £90.13
Absolutely love these!
The Moonwalker Bedazzled Pants are amazingly done and would be perfect for a more special occasion or, of course, a night on the dance floor. The design manages to remain elegant while the sparkling details and Michael Jackson signature give it that extra touch of glamour.
A very Michael Jackson piece!
Michael Jackson x Actively Black Luxe Hoodie
Price: £90.13
This is a more classic and understated piece from the collection.
The black hoodie features Michael Jackson’s signature along with the famous toe stand silhouette on the sleeves. It is a very easy day-to-day hoodie that fans can wear casually while still carrying a little bit of Michael with them.
Sometimes, simple works best.
Michael Jackson x Actively Black Toe Stand Bedazzled Hoodie
Price: £120.17
The bedazzled details on this hoodie really give it another dimension!
It keeps the comfort of a classic hoodie while adding a touch of sparkle and personality. It is perfect for those who like to keep things comfortable but still want a little bit of that party-time or slightly quirky, Michael Jackson spirit that we all love.
Michael Jackson x Actively Black Moonwalker Bedazzled Jacket
Price: £150.21
And finally, the Moonwalker Bedazzled Jacket takes the collection to another level.
Once again, the bedazzled details lift the entire jacket and give it that extra Michael Jackson sparkle. But, as Michael Jackson fans, we have to admit that we particularly love the armband!
It is such a simple addition, but it immediately brings that unmistakable Michael Jackson feeling. Very Michael!
A Collection With a Purpose
Drop 3 is limited, so if there is something you like, do not wait too long before it disappears.
But this collection is about more than just fashion. The proceeds from this release are being donated to relief efforts in Gary, Indiana, the birthplace of Michael Jackson. Actively Black originally planned Drop 3 as a celebration of Michael’s birthday, but decided to turn the release into an opportunity to give back to the city where Michael’s incredible story began.
So, by supporting this collection, fans can not only add some stylish Michael Jackson fashion to their wardrobe but also help the people of Gary during a difficult time.
