Nike is launching a collection of shoes with a unique design twist, the company announced on its website on Wednesday.
The Air Max 90 City Pack will feature five colorways of sneakers designed to represent iconic professions in five major cities.
The cities represented in the collection include New York City, London, Shanghai, Paris, and Tokyo. Each pair has specific design elements that correspond to the chosen profession for each city. For example, the New York City sneaker pays homage to the uniform of the New York City Fire Department with a reflective side swoosh and screws on the back of the heel to represent a fireman's hat.
