Since 2000, Nike has celebrated Puerto Rico, its heritage, and its iconic influencers and influencers across sneakers, sports, pop culture, and beyond.

This year, the annual tradition has more in-store, lining up with the 40th anniversary of the Air Force 1 — a staple for Boricuas and neoyorquinos alike.

Drawing inspiration from where New York meets San Juan, the latest collection utilizes colors, patterns, and phrases that connect the two cities. Its color palette is inspired by the buildings and hand-painted signs of San Juan and the Bodegas of NYC; the Nike Air Force 1 Low “Puerto Rico” includes a domino perforation pattern and decorative dubraes feature a mini-Domino; the graphic patterns on the sockliner and polo feature phrases heard in and around neighborhoods in both cities

The Nike Puerto Rico collection releases on June 4, June 9, and June 10 on SNKRS and select retailers. As always, our sneaker monitors and release day strategy will have members ready for drop day.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
