Black History Month is still a couple weeks away, but Nike's starting the celebration early by dropping a "BHM" Air Jordan 1 Nouveau ahead of Tuesday's basketball collection. That's not all there is for Air Jordan heads, either, as there's a girl's "Denim" Jordan IV Retro in sizes that will allow guys to get in on the action.
Meanwhile, Nike's readied another Air Trainer Cruz colorway in memory of Victor Cruz's late father. The brand's also bringing back the Air Pressure hoops shoe from 1989, a sneaker that many 'heads thought would never see the light of day. The Swoosh will also drop a collaboration for Concept's 20th anniversary and a brand new KD 8 colorway.
