Nike Sportswear Air Force 1 Black History Month

In honor of Black History Month, Nike Sportswear has designed a unique Air Force 1 that incorporates different elements commemorating the rich history of Black culture. Hints of red and green are seen on the sole and Swoosh, which overlays the embossed side panels. Read on for a closer view and to find out where to buy. Via: highsnobiety

Commemorating the Harlem Renaissance, economic empowerment and the rise of Black enterprise, the phrase “The definition of a renaissance individual: one who possesses a multitude of skills, talent and a broad base of knowledge” is embossed repeatedly throughout the upper. Not only are these a fresh look, but all proceeds raised from the shoe will go to Cheyney University which is the oldest Black institution in the United States. These will release February 18th at select Nike Sportswear retailers.
