Nike and Foot Locker, Inc. have once again joined forces to launch a series of new styles of Nike’s signature silhouettes. The Legacy collection pays homage to basketball and boasts unique, vintage-inspired graphic designs and materials.
The men's shoes feature varsity basketball colors, while the women's shoes feature vintage pink shades. The men’s series features three different heritage classics: the Nike Uptempo 96, Flight 95, and Air Force 1 Low. On the other hand, the women's shoes have two signature models: the Nike Dunk Hi and Air Force 1 Shadow. Moreover, a "Peace/Basketball" branding adorns each shoe within the collection - a bespoke twist on the heritage Nike basketball logo.
The Nike Legacy collections will be available exclusively at Foot Locker, Foot Locker Canada, Kids Foot Locker, and
Champs Sports in-store and online Thursday, August 18.
