An American sports reporter who's covered games for big names like CBS and CNN in the past, Craig Sager is one of Nike's most recent collaborators.
Reportedly drawing from the vibrant suits he'd wear, the new Air Force 1 colorways feature a bold paisley pattern. Breaking it up are solid colors, with bight purple, electric blue and a powerful red decorating key spots. Meanwhile, paisley laces finish off the uppers, while the vibrancy of the colorway is countered by thick white soles. As the energetic design is likely to communicate to those who are familiar with him, the Craig Sager collaboration is well-suited to consumers who are looking to brightly revitalize their sneaker collection.
With only 100 pairs available however, getting a hold of the pair at the online auctions that they'll be sold through could be difficult That said, the profits will be going towards a good cause -- helping Craig Sager with his ongoing battle against leukemia.
