To commemorate an integral moment in U.S history, the Nike Black History Month Collection is released.

Three of the most influential and succesful athletes today—Serena Williams, Didier Drogba and Kevin Durant—were the inspirations behind the creation of the collection due to their ongoing commitment to giving back to their communities. The line, which offers several sports shoes, t-shirts and hats uses mainly oranges, browns and blacks as well as tribal prints on its collection.
The Nike Black History Month Collection will be released on Monday, January the 21st, when the pro Basketball teams will play tribute to the legendary Martin Luther King Jr.
