“The fall collection reflects my personal style. I love a sexy heel, but I also love how a cool chunky boot can add an edgy vibe,” Lopez explains.

As an extension of the new launch and campaign, Lopez also developed herfirst-ever interactive video gamethat features fun elements of J.Lo’s own life woven throughout. “The thing I love most about the game is that it pays homage to my three favorite cities: New York, Los Angeles and Miami. Each level of the game incorporates pieces from my life like my subway station in the Bronx and a Hollywood movie set, which makes it really personal to me,” she explains. “It was so cool creating this colorful, animated world and gives my fans a fun way to engage on a new level.”
The star even asked 13-year-old son Max what he thought ofthe gamewhile she worked on it. Lopez says, “Max is really into gaming, I loved having him weigh in on elements along the way.”
