Celebrating 43 Years of Basketball, the Nike Air Spring 2015 Collection embodies the culture and attitude of the streets where it was born back in 1982.

The world’s brightest basketball stars will shine in the Big Apple next month. Those who’ve been selected for the sport’s mid-season celebration are part of an elite fraternity. Among them are today’s modern legends—players who compete without fear and with style. The collection features longer, more sleek silhouettes, which serve to accentuate the basketball player’s body. Consistent lengths and hem construction in the longer garments further enable seamless layering.

The Nike Air collection is now available in select Nike retailers and on nike.com/nikeair.

The Nike Air Long-Sleeve Pivot Tee is rooted in the heritage of Nike Air. The bold 1982 numerals that run down the sleeves pay tribute to the 1982 debut of the Air Force 1, the first basketball shoe to utilize Nike Air technology. The shirt has an elongated, slimming fit and is designed to layer in underneath other Nike Air apparel. It also features a drop tail for a modern look.

The Nike Air AF1 Print Tee looks to capture the energy surrounding playground basketball in the city with the use of playful graphics. The tee’s artwork includes streetball trophies, city culinary favorites such as pizza, hot dogs and ice cream, and pigeons, one of the metropolis’ most populous birds.

The Nike Air Crossover Warm-Up Pant features a ribbed cuff design.

Born from the Pivot System of Dress, the Nike Air Pivot Hoodie features short sleeves to allow for easy layering. French terry fabric provides a soft feel and the hood with a drawcord offers adjustable coverage.
