A sportswear line inspired by anti-apartheid icon and South Africa ex-president Nelson Mandela will soon make its debut in the U.S.

According to the Huffington Post, “46664 Fashion” recently inked a deal with Dallas, Texas company B US Inc. and the line is scheduled to debut online this summer. The coats, jackets, golfwear, shoes, shirts and trousers are to be available in North American retail stores in time for the 2012 Christmas shopping season. The pricey clothing line, which consists of, brightly colored apparel in bold designs for men and women, is named after Mandela’s prison number when he was jailed for 27 years at Robben Island.

“The designers are very much in tune to the vibrant nature of South Africa, whether it’s bright colors or shweshwe print,” Aaron Patton, chief executive office or Company B told Women’s Wear Daily.

After the line debuted in South Africa last year, some questioned whether it fittingly represented Mandela’s legacy.

While the former leader has rejected the commercial use of his name in the past, he gave 46664 his blessing, according to CNN.

Still, the company has to adhere to strict guidelines. An executive from the Nelson Mandela Foundation told CNN that the line is not allowed to use Mandela’s name or image, just the prison number and an image of his hand.

“We are aware of the risks and that’s why it took us almost two years to negotiate a final contract, laying down absolute strict conditions about what they can do and what they can’t do,” Archmat Dangor, chief executive of the Mandela Foundation said.

At the time of the clothing line’s launch in South Africa, Mandela’s granddaughter, Ndileka Mandela called it “stylish,” but wondered how many South Africans would be able to afford it.

On the brand’s website, a light track jacket is priced at 600 ZAR, which converts to about $75 in U.S. currency. Golf shirts are priced from $39 to $60. Chino trousers go for $65. Sport shirts are priced at about $70.

“My worry– and I echo some of my cousins’ worries–is will it be able to encompass what Mandela stands for?” Ndileka told CNN. “Because Mandela does not stand for only the elite people, he stands for all people from all walks of life.”

Nonetheless, the company has vowed to donate between seven and nine percent of its profit to Mandela’s charities. The U.S. version of its online store will launch on July 18, Mandela’s 94th birthday.
