Nike is all set to release a new NYC "Boro" collection of Air Force Ones tomorrow but unlike last year's awesome collection, something this year seems a bit...off. Like, since when is Harlem a borough? And why are there only four boroughs?
The Harlem thing is easy enough to explain (it replaces Manhattan this year), but why no love for Status Island? We've e-mailed Nike, but have yet to hear back.
In the meantime, we will admit these new all-white kicks are kinda sweet (though we're still coveting Nike's Statue of Liberty shoes). As you can see in the above photos each one features outlines of the area they represent on the left heel and the name of the "borough" on the right. Additionally each one has a different colored tongue label and laces. Want a pair? Get in line. They'll be on sale tomorrow at the Ice Cream truck parked in front of the Nike Sportswear store at 21 Mercer from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
