If you were looking forward to copping the Puerto Rico Air Force 1, then this news is going to be pretty upsetting.
“Nike is removing the shoe from the marketplace, as it was intended to be a re-release of the Air Force 1 Low Puerto Rico from 2000 and the final product does not accurately reflect the original design,” read the statement.
Sadly, this isn’t the only summer plans being ruined, as the lively Puerto Rican Day Parade –which was set to take place on June 14–has also been canceled by Mayor Bill de Blasio because of the coronavirus lockdown.
A 90-minute celebration of Puerto Rican Heritage will still take place this Sunday but that legendary Fifth Ave stroll can’t be matched.
The 2019 kicks of the same name had to be scrapped because the Mola print used represents the Panamanian community and not the intended people of Puerto Rico.
