Nike released its first Black History Month product, a limited-edition Air Force 1, in 2005. That singular effort has since evolved into a yearly collection, each celebrating African American heritage and a more inclusive world for all athletes.
The 2019 BHM collection is highlighted by iconic Nike, Jordan and Converse silhouettes, was inspired by an assortment of national African patterns, brought together onto modernized prints in a theme of Afro-futurism in sport.
For Jonathan Johnsongriffin, Senior Creative Director for Nike Basketball, the design reflects how athletes today are fully embracing their backgrounds and are becoming catalysts for change in their local communities. That civic-minded approach also takes shape in the following new and existing opportunities for community leaders.
The collection will include the Air Jordan 1, Air Jordan 2, Jordan Why Not Zer0.2, Nike LeBron 16, Kyrie 5, PG 3, KD 11, two Converse Chuck Taylor Highs, Nike Air Force 1 Utility and Flare 2.
