Nike will be celebrating the annual Puerto Rican Day Parade that takes place annually on the second Sunday of June with an upcoming inspired collection. The Nike Air Force 1 Low Puerto Rico starts off with a white tumbled leather material on the upper with the highlight being a colorful line art design on the side panel/ankle displaying the Coqui frog, which is largest frog species found in Puerto Rico. The frog makes another appearance on the insole, where he’s wrapped tightly around the Swoosh graphic, while the tongues and heels of both shoes also feature bold red and blue “PR” branding.

It officially became Nike Inc. in 1971.The Nike swoosh was designed by Portland State University student Carolyn Davidson，The slogan “Just Do It” was inspired by serial killer Gary Gilmore, who said “let’s do it” just before he was executed by a firing squad in 1977.
