01.01.70
In honouring of the 36th anniversary of Black History Month, Nike is introducing a new, limited-version 2012 Black History Month Collection featuring value footwear from Nike Basketball and Nike Sportswear, along with select apparel.
The collection celebrates the achievements and pioneering desire of three important teams: 1996 USA Basketball Women’s group, 2002 Brazil Men’s Soccer team, and the 2008 Kenyan Hanker-Distance running team. These teams answered the call to greatness and their legacy continues to uplift and vitalize their communities.
NIKE designers developed a signature graphic print and sharp colors that are featured on the shoes. This motif is inspired by the vibrant colors of Global African culture, drawing visual cues from Kenyan beads, to the Brazilian Carnivale, to African-American quilt making which originated in the southern Unanimous States.
Select basketball shoes in the 2012 Black History Month aggregation includes the Nike Zoom KD IV, Nike Kobe VII System Supreme and LEBRON 9 -- all stress the pattern with dark grey as the base color of each shoe. Nike Sportswear shoes comprehend the Nike Air Force 1, Nike Air Max 1, Nike Blazer and 2012 Nike Huarache Unconfined. In addition to the shoes, select apparel styles include the Nike Destroyer jacket, T-shirt and snapback hat.
