Nike Set To Drop Their Impressive Black History Month Collection Later This Month (Pics) Posted by Danielle Harling on 01/16/13 | Filed under Style, Sneakers, Nike

At first, the idea of a collection of Black History Month-inspired kicks and clothing may come across as mildly offensive or even slightly hilarious. Thankfully, the folks over at Nike actually put some thought into their Black History Month collection. Not only do the kicks in Nike's newest collection look pretty dope, but they also honor Didier Drogba, Serena Williams, and Kevin Durant, three athletes who have all made an impact in the community.

The collection might initially come across as somewhat average, but it truly is all about the details with this collection. Nearly every item features some kind of intricate, tribal pattern that adds an air of uniqueness to whatever pair of sneakers, t-shirt, or other piece of apparel it's etched on. Most of the pieces also sport a welcoming pop of orange which brightens the primarily brown and gray colorway.

Nike's Black History Month collection is expected to hit retailers on January 26. Another cool tidbit, a percentage of the profit from the collection will go directly to the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.
