The Nike Holiday 2014 Women's City Collection is a bright and eye-catching collection of Nike women's shoes inspired by six fashion-forward cities. Each shoe is inspired by six style capitals of the world, namely New York, London, Paris, Milan, Tokyo and Shanghai. The collection makes use of the iconic Nike Air Force 1 sneaker, first released in 1982.
Each shoe has a unique monotone colorway that is inspired by one particular city. The colors and designs are inspired by antique maps of each city as well as its unique local history, paying homage not just to their style quotient but also to their history and tradition.
The Nike Sportswear Holiday 2014 Women's Nike City Collection will be available for sale online as well as at select Nike Sportswear retailers worldwide starting October 23.
