Nike has announced the launch of its newest 'La Familia footwear collection, which has been created to celebrate Latino Heritage Month. Nike launches this collection once a year as a way to support Latino communities in America by making their culture and stories more visible via the company's massive media reach.
“Our commitment to engage and serve the community is not limited to a day or month, it is year-round. It starts from within, through investment in building a diverse and dynamic workforce that fuels design innovation, and extends outward through authentic collaborations," said President & CEO of Nike, John Donahoe.
This year, the 'La Familia' collection features an Air Trainer 1 and AirForce 1 Low model, both of which arrive dressed in vibrant color schemes and bespoke embroidery.
