Rainbow Gear To Help You Get Your Pride On

If you want to make a statement of support this month, why not wear it? Inspired by LGBTQ communities around the world, these Pride-inspired capsule collections from some of the biggest retailers also serve as reminders that the fight for tolerance, diversity and equality is ongoing.

Here’s a roundup of rainbow-inspired designs that you can pick up this summer to help you get your pride on.

This year's collection includes a variety of jackets, tees, tanks, socks, a unisex shoulder bag, as well as five pairs of sneakers: the Air Max 720, Air Tailwind 79, Zoom Pegasus Turbo, Benassi JDI, and Air Max 90. Each piece in the collection features the eight colours of the original flag, Baker’s signature and his signature glitter shimmer.
