Nike Air Force 1 x Black History

February 6th, 2010 | By SDot

This year’s Nike Air Force 1 dedicated to the month of black history draws inspiration from the rise of Black enterprise, economic empowerment and the individuals behind the Harlem Renaissance. Covering the black leather upper is text reading “The definition of a renaissance individual: one who possesses a multitude of skills, talent and a broad base of knowledge,” in multiple types of font. On the inside, silhouettes of both a male and female figure appear, signifying the importance of both genders’ roles in Black History. Proceeds from all shoes sold will be donated to Cheyney University, the oldest Black institution in the U.S. – shot out to nicekicks.com
