Nike introduces its latest City Edition collection, but in a special manner as it highlights the respective NBA cities to really showcase what stands out in each area. Every jersey spotlights prominent landmarks and slogans, even featuring figures that are important to the cities.
The Chicago Bulls' uniform is inspired by the Chicago flag and reads "Sweet Home" adorned in a blue colorway in the placement of the usual black and red tonal palette. The Atlanta Harks honors its own "City of Influencers" and is complete in black. One of the vibrant designs is the Denver Nuggets with a rainbow skyline emblem, and the San Antonio Spurs uniform boasts a camouflage print in a monochromatic finish.
