The Nike Air Force 1 NYC Borough Shows off Neigborhood Pride

— August 12, 2011 — Fashion
So far Nike's been impressive with its releases throughout the season and now the company continues its winning streak with the Nike Air Force 1 NYC Borough.

Citizens of the Big Apple have always been known to have a lot of pride when it comes to showing off where they're from. Now these folks can do so by wearing their neighborhood's name on their feet with the Nike Air Force 1 NYC Borough. Each of the sneakers are finished in white with the region's outline on the back heel as well as the name. The tongue features a flap with the first letters of the borough and the additional multi-colored laces makes a great contrast to the all white upper.

The represented boroughs include Harlem, Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx. I suggest you get these quick because they will go fast.
