Nike is incorporating the heart & soul of each city that has a House of Hoops store, Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Houston, in their future “For the Love of the City” Pack. Each city is represented by a different Nike shoe model and each sneaker carries unique characteristics that represent their respected towns.

Chicago is represented by an Air Force 2 (II) featuring a fur lining for warmth in the windy city. Houston is repped by a Vandal High, candy-painted purple with drips along the mid-sole rumored to represent “sizzzurrp.” New York City is a Dunk High with a glow-in-the-dark sole for the city that never sleeps. Finally, there’s the Los Angeles Dunk Low, pieced together with white contrast stitching (even the swoosh is just a stitch outline) alluding to plastic surgery sutures found on the city’s elite.

The Nike “For the Love of the City” Pack is slated to release on February 21st, 2009 at each of the House of Hoops stores.
