NIKE AND JORDAN BRAND PRESENT THE ULTIMATE ALL-STAR EXPERIENCES
Well I wasn’t expecting this right here. Nicely played Nike and Jordan Brand for putting this together for All-Star week/weekend. Introducing the SNKRS Xpress. What makes this so dope for All-Star weekend is that ‘SNKRS Xpress’ is a play on the story Polar Express which then ties into The Northern Lights theme associated around Toronto who is the hosting city for the NBA ASW.
Check out the official unveiling as Nike and JB are bringing the SNKRS Xpress to four cities to celebrate the yearly event.
As basketball fans from around the world descend on Toronto this week, Nike and Jordan Brand will celebrate the global game by providing Nike+ members with the ultimate Nike INC. All-Star experience.
SNKRS XPRESS
SNKRS XPRESS invites Nike+ members to experience the holistic power of Nike and Jordan by offering a curated selection of footwear including the Nike Air Force 1 Flyknit, Air Jordan XXX, Jordan Cement IV, Kobe 11 Royalty and several surprise drops.
