Check out Offerings from The 2015 Nike Basketball and Jordan Brand BHM Collections

Black History Month (BHM) isn't officially celebrated in the Philippines, but sneakerheads on this side of the world recognize the occasion when special edition sneakers drop. This year will be no different, with Nike ushering in a massive BHM collection of footwear and apparel spanning a number of sports. This year, the collection honors six athletes and coaches who have impacted sport with their courage and determination: Theotis Beasley, Kevin Prince-Boateng, Jerry Rice, Brianna Rollins, C. Vivian Stringer and John Thompson.

However, only a select number of items from the collection will be made available locally. Read on to find out more.
