President of The Toronto Raptors, Masai Ujiri, recently launched a minimal athleisure line in collaboration with major retailer Harry Rosen and it's for a good cause.

Ujiri, along with a Canadian designer, is behind the 'Humanity' clothing collection and all the proceeds will be donated to Black Youth Helpline.

Harry Rosen partnered up with Ujiri to create the 'athleisure capsule' which was designed by Ujiri and Canadian designer Patrick Assaraf. 

According to the retailer's website, this line is meant to inspire people from all walks of life and is a reminder to the world "that there is more that unites us than divides us."

All proceeds that come from the collection will be given to Black Youth Helpline, an initiative that gives young people access to services and resources within their communities.

"We must relearn what it is to be human. No limits. Full of possibilities. A world that dreams big no matter who we are or where we are from," Ujiri said.

"A place that allows us to use some of the things that we have all been given. To me, that's the essence of humanity."
