Throughout this week, we have shown you a number of shoes that are inspired by Black History Month. We now have detailed photos of the entire Nike “2011 Black History Month” Pack which includes a Nike Air Force 1, a Nike Zoom Kobe VI, an Air Jordan 3 and a Converse Star Player EVO. The latter three models represent three African American, iconic basketball superstars of our time: Michael Jordan, Julius Erving and Kobe Bryant. Nike pays tribute to Dr. J (with the Converse Star Player EVO) for unifying the NBA and ABA, while the Nike Zoom Kobe VI represents Kobe’s unbelievable 81-point game in 2006. Last but not least, Michael Jordan is represented by the Air Jordan 3 for his timeless dunk from the free-throw line in 1987.
As for this year’s “Black History Month” Nike Air Force 1, it is dressed in black Stetson leather and features woodblock cut print around the upper by artist Hele Woodruff. The predominately black base represents the basketball shoes that were worn on court in the early days, and the gold stands for the golden moment we all practice and train for. No word on when this pack will release, yet, stay tuned for additional information. Meanwhile, check out detailed photos of the entire pack and an official press release from Nike.
