Nike Little Accra Air Force One — Steven Eloiseau | Just Seau You Know

The shoe has satin hues of red, burgundy, yellow, and rust orange with embroidered tapestry.

Designers put spirited messages inside the shoes’ insoles that read “Sharing Stories” and “Building Community.” You’ll also find the words “Little Accra” in a graffiti style to add that “Boogie Down Bronx” flavor.

“The beauty of the community in The Bronx is that people have brought their homes way from home to New York,” says Abdul Karim Abdullah, CEO & Co-Founder of Afrochella. “From the African markets to the restaurants to the community centers – anyone from Ghana won’t feel far from home in The Bronx.”

And this isn’t the first time Nike has shown love to Ghana. Most notably, the brand has collaborated with the late Ghanaian-American designer Virgil Abloh since 2016.

“This collaboration opens Nike’s eyes to opportunities within the continent and marginalized communities supporting the brand,” Abdullah tells Travel Noire. “It creates an opportunity for generations after me to fathom the possibility of having their own shoe … something I never even dreamed of before it happened. It also firms the need for storytelling and authenticity.”
