The JD x Nike campaign features a jacket priced at £90 and a graphic tee available for £35, which Theroux has been seen wearing. The collaboration has garnered attention, with fans expressing excitement about the campaign’s authenticity.
Ryan Crighton, involved in the campaign, stated, “True Stories is built on a very simple idea – that people are fascinated by the moments that shape remarkable lives.” This sentiment resonates with Theroux’s approach to storytelling.
