In celebration of Black History Month, brands like Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Reebok and Under Armour will all be unveiling special edition "Black History Month" sneakers including exclusive pairs for their signature athletes.
Today, Nike and Jordan Brand have officially unveiled their BHM Collections which include the LeBron 14, KD9 and Kyrie 3, as well as Serena Williams’ Nike Flare, an Air Force 1 Hi for men, an AF1 Upstep for women and special-edition Air Jordan 1s.
Per Nike:
"Nike’s annual Nike Black History Month collection has evolved from a single Nike Air Force 1 to an extensive product assortment. Over the past decade plus, the message has also evolved from a tribute to African-American athlete achievement to a wider celebration of Black heritage and the power of sport to fuel community action to create positive change."
"In that vein, the limited edition 2017 collection incorporates a decorative marbling — blending black and white — in reference to the strength of harmonious movement. Each design in the collection is also punctuated by gold accents, reminders of the power of coming together and the aspiration of unity."
Jordan Brand's trio of shoes, including the Air Jordan 1 with velcro patches, will launch February 11th. The 2017 Nike BHM collection releases February 16th at Nike.com and select retailers in North America.
