It’s no secret that the World Basketball Festival is coming to New York, and that Nike has been taken the honors of primary sponsor. For those that don’t know, NYC will host some of the world’s best talent in preparation for the FIBA World Basketball Championships in Turkey that everyone is clamoring about. There’ll be exhibitions in Times Square and Rucker Park with U.S. National team talent, as well as a pair of exhibition games at the Garden between the U.S. and France and China v. Puerto Rico.
In the run up to the World Basketball Festival (WBF) in New York, Nike is releasing a new collection of Air Force 1′s featuring colors, materials and inspiration drawn from the identity of each of the city’s boroughs. These five supreme-level shoes will debut in limited quantities, across the city as summer hoops season heats up. Each of the five shoes within the collection are varsity-inspired, with graphics on the exterior heel and sock liner, special borough exclusive ‘BE’ nod on the tongue, limited edition ‘1898’ labret honoring the year the boroughs were consolidated and printed laces.
