The house of swoosh seems to be in an empire of state of mind with their new Nike Statue of Liberty. Nike's latest shoe takes the venerable SB Dunk High and gives it a neon-patriotic makeover.
The Nike Statue of Liberty isn't much to look at from the outside, but the inside is a tribute to one of America's most enduring icons. The Statue of Liberty adorns the inner sole of this shoe, complementing the small headshot of the statue of the tongue. Look for Nike to release these liberty-inspired skate shoes sometime in March.
